215.15 | I have made many enquiries relative to this old castle, but could get no information regarding it, the oldest inhabitant of the place, who seen it over 60 years ago, says it was then as now, a ruin, (The ruin beside it, in connection with the garden is part of an old farm steading called "North Kelspoke" and had no connection with the castle) The old castle from its situation and appearance was probably a watch Tower, but that is mere conjecture, there is only a portion of the S.E. [South East] Corner standing, about 6 feet high, the remaining portions though demolished to the surface is still visible. It is built of red sand Stone cemented. It is marked on the Estate Map "Castle" and called in the locality "Kilspoke Castle" |
| NORTH KELSPOKE | 215.15 | The ruin beside it, in connection with the garden is part of an old farm steading called "North Kelspoke" and had no connection with the Castle |
