Gilmockie Tower (site)
The site of Gilmockie Tower is recognisable at
the E [East] end of the bridge over the Esk but of
the castle itself nothing remains . The mound
on which it stood has been partially dsetroyed by
the side of the road. (See Armstrong's Histy [History])

17' July 1912.
Enclosure Calfield Langholm Par [Parish]
This enclosure is situated on the N. [North] side
of Wauchopedale at an elevation of some
650 ft. [feet] above sea level, and some 300 yds. [yards] S. [South] by
E. [East] of Calfield farm. In form it is an ir:
:regular oval with its main axis N. [North] and S. [South]
and measures about 140' by 130'. It has been
hollowed out in the interior so that the lowest
part lies some 3 ft. [feet] below the level of the
ground immediately beyond the enceinte and
some 16' below the crest of the ramp on the
upper side. It has been surrounded by a
stony bank on the crest of which the remains
of stone work are visible. There have been at
least two large excavated hollows in the
interior but as the area has been utilized
as a dump for rubbish the features are
somewhat obscured. there appear to
have been two entrances one from the S W. [South West]
