(NT 1644 4630) Whiteside Tower (NR) (site of)

OS 6" map (1967)

Except, perhaps, for a number of large blocks of rubble masonry, there are now no structural remains of this tower. Its overall dimensions are uncertain, but the walls appear to have been 3'9" thick. Immediately S of the tower site there are the remains of a range of out-buildings, evidently later than the tower itself.

RCAHMS 1967, visited 1958

At this site - an amorphous turf-covered mound c.14m in diameter and 1.6m high - are several displaced blocks of lime-mortared rubble, but it is not possible to establish the original size or shape of the tower.

Visited by OS (JP) 7 January 1975
