Montfode Castle
The name 'Montfode' derives from the old Norman family of that name, the Montfodes of that Ilk. The castle was mostly demolished in the early 19th century to provide stone to build a dam and threshing mill at Montfode Farm.
The remaining fragment of this baronial castle consists of a single round tower, with slits and a gun-loop, standing to around 8m with an interior diameter of 2m.
The doorway on the eastern side has moulded stone surround. The tower and wall are of rubble masonry and 0.7m thick. The position of this tower, situated upon an exterior angle, may indicate that the building was of a Z-plan construction.
