Summary : Possible site of a tower at Troughead. The tower is marked on a map of 1590 but no trace of such a structure survives in the vicinity. Shown as a house on the 1607 plot of Cumbria. Probably a stonehouse or bastle.
More information : (Name centred NY 48137515) A map in the British Museum, dated December 1590, has marked 'Troughead' with a tower symbol. (1) Trough Head is a farmhouse of uncertain age with many late additions, but its walling is of only average thickness and the tenant has no knowledge of an earlier structure. The outbuildings reveal nothing significant, and the surrounding land, mostly under rough pasture, appears featureless. (2) Listed (3)
