Black Castle (site of)

Writing in 1893, J Munro Bell believed that traces of the foundations of Black Castle could still be seen at the farm of Blackcastle. The occupant of Blackcastle in 1979, Miss Grant, stated that her father had told her that Black Castle “stood on the nettle-covered slope near Blackcastle farm steading”. To confuse matters, a field situated at NT 4045 5950 is known as Castle Moor.
