012 [Situation] Near the West end of Oldhamstocks Village.
The site of a castle which belonged to the Hepburn family, situated at the west of Oldhamstocks Village. In the memory of the eldest inhabitants now living, there existed a portion of the vaulted rooms of the ground flat, the walls of which were about 3 feet thick; but which are now all removed and the ground ploughed over. It does not appear to have been a place of great strength or extent.
