Southfield (site of)

There was once a tower at Over Southfield although nothing of it now remains.

The tower is said to have been demolished and removed by Robert Scott of Harwood around 1663.

I have placed the site of the tower at what I think was the location of Over Southfield, further up Chester Knowe from (Nether) Southfield, pending further research.
