Monument Number 12892

Hob Uid: 12892
Location :
Cumbria
Carlisle
Bewcastle
Grid Ref : NY5646078690
Summary : Alleged fortified house at Green Knowe, the remains of which are represented by an oval mound.
More information : (NY 56467869) Green Knowe Ancient Foundations (TI) (1)

The stones of Green Knowe were carted away from it a few years ago. (2)

The site occurs on the near-level top of a slight knoll, which has
now been deep-furrow ploughed and tree-planted. At the published position many undressed stones are visible in the furrows, but no other significant features were noted.
From the rectangular form, 14.0 m x 6.0 m depicted on OS 25", together with Maughan's statement that the stones were carted away, suggests that a building had formerly stood on the site.

Published survey (25") revised. (3)

NY 56467869. "The remains here covered an acre in 1854...." (4)

All that remained in 1970 was an oval mound 20 feet by 12 feet, thought to mark the house site. (5)
