Simonburn Castle (Remains)

Castle

What is recorded here

Simonburn Castle has surrendered most of its stones to time, leaving behind a ghost outline instead of a proud tower. The land remembers the shape even when the building has vanished. What is missing is the point. The gap is the gift.
Simonburn Castle (Remains) is shown as a castle on the public map of Northumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Simonburn Castle was built by the de Multon family in the 13th century and later held by the powerful Percy family. It is remembered for its strategic position in Northumberland and its role in the turbulent history of the Anglo-Scottish border region.
