Drumburgh Castle, Medieval peel tower in Drumburgh, England.
The castle exhibits thick walls constructed from squared and coursed red sandstone, featuring a chamfered plinth and three distinct floor levels.
Robert le Brun received permission to build the castle in 1307, utilizing materials from Hadrian's Wall for its construction during the medieval period.
The entrance displays carved stone eagle finials and the Dacre family coat of arms, representing the architectural preferences of northern English nobility.
Visitors can examine the iron-studded oak plank door at the entrance, which remains in its original pointed-arched and chamfered surround.
The castle incorporates elements of a Roman shrine within its stonework, connecting medieval architecture with ancient Roman infrastructure.
