Hob Uid: 13031
Location : Cumbria Carlisle Askerton
Grid Ref : NY5510070460
Summary : It was originally alleged by the Ordnance Survey that this was the site of Willeava, a pele tower of 15th/16th century date. However, on the 1603 survey map they consider it to be the Mealfarme, a possible mill. Foundations were uncovered during excavation, but no trace of the building is now visible. It is believed that Wileava was at Collin Bank (see uid 13068).
More information : (NY 55107046) Peel (GT) (Remains of) (1) A 15th/16th c Pele tower stood near Park Gate. An old man whilst doing some excavations many years ago came upon the foundations buried beneath the soil. (2) No foundations of the pele are now visible. (3) A millfarm is documented as being here on a map of 1603. It lies by the stream and may be a mill site rather than a pele. (4)
