Newyearfield

A tower house once stood at Newyearfield and was said to have original been a royal hunting lodge.

By the late 18th century only fragmentary ruins remained, and the farmhouse of Newyearfield Farm may have been built on or near the site of the tower.

The site now falls within a housing estate.
