Summary : Possible site of pele tower. A survey of circa 1715 refers to an 'old pile' at Shilburnhaugh, but no trace of such a structure survives.
More information : Pele at Shilburnhaugh. (1)

A survey of c1715 refers to "an old pile" at Shilburnhaugh. (2)

Situated in a narrow valley Shilburnhaugh is overlooked by higher ground from all directions and would have been a very poor defensive site. No evidence of antiquity is present in the farmhouse, its outbuildings or surrounding walls, and Mr Davidson the tenant farmer has no knowledge of a Pele at the place. (3)

The adjacent hill Tower Knowe was perambulated, but nothing to indicate the site of a Pele was seen. (4)

ohn Warburton noted an old pile at Shilburnhaugh belonging to one Robson. The site is now under Kielder Water. (5
