Ridsdale is a small Northumberland village straddling the A68; it was the location of an iron industry until the mid-nineteenth century. Ian Paterson http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/459978 tells that it's widely believed that the building is the ruin of a castle; in his hundreds of passes, the photographer, until today, thought the same.
