Two rough stumps of masonry and a heap of rubble are all that remain of the castle of Fedderate. It was built by William Crawford, Baron of Fedderate. It is thought to date from the 15th century, and to have been defended by a moat and surrounding marshland, though here is nothing now left of the moat and causeway.
