More information : (SO 506594) A "demolished castle" is marked on Taylor's map
just E of Leominster. (1)
Comfort Castle is said to have existed in Saxon times. Traditionally
it was on a hill side 1/2 mile E of the town, where traces of
earthworks could still be seen in Leland's time. The suggested site
for the castle is overlooking Hay Lane at the end of a ridge of hills
formerly known as Castle of Comfort Hills. There are now no remains. (2)
An extensive area of disturbed ground, visible on AP's at SO 5067
5933 may be the site. (3)
There is no evidence of any remains in the vicinity of SO
5067 5933, nor is there any local tradition regarding the site of
'Comfort Castle'. (4)
