Tarset Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Tarset, England
The stone foundations of Tarset Castle rest on a mound, with remnants indicating the original structure included four square corner turrets in its design.
John Comyn received permission to fortify Tarset Castle in 1267, but Scottish forces destroyed the structure following the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
The Grade II* listed status of Tarset Castle indicates the high level of importance placed on preserving this medieval defensive structure in Northumberland.
Visitors can locate the castle ruins half a mile southwest of Tarset village, though the remaining stone foundations require careful navigation during exploration.
Archaeological studies at Tarset Castle reveal specific construction methods from the 13th century, contributing to understanding medieval fortification techniques in northern England.
