Monument Number 11668

Hob Uid: 11668
Location :
Cumbria
Carlisle
Nicholforest
Grid Ref : NY4522078890
Summary : A tower symbol is marked on the 1590 map of Cumbria at Rutherforde, and is marked as a house called `Morthwate' on the 1607 plot. Probably a stonehouse or bastle. The English Place Name Society equated Rutherford with Old Hall, and the present farmhouse may have remains of the stonehouse.
More information : (Area centred NY 45227889) A map in the British Museum, dated December 1590, has marked 'Rutherforde' with a tower symbol.(1)

The approximate location falls in an area of rough pasture fields showing no trace of a structure or earthworks. Old Hall, at NY 451790, is externally on 18/19th century farmhouse with walling of only average thickness. There is no knowledge of an earlier house here. (2)

EPNS equates Rutherford with Old Hall. (3)
