Fiddleton Bankend NY 387 965 NY39NE 7

There are no visible remains of this tower, depicted as that of 'Hobbie of Glenvore' on a map of 1590 and as 'Glenvorann' in Blaeu's Atlas of 1654. It may have stood close to Fiddleton Bankend cottage where 'a few years' before 1912 'a piece of very substantial masonry' was found 'whilst digging in the stack-yard a little to the west'.

RCAHMS 1981.

(Blaeu 1654b; Hyslop and Hyslop 1912, 320, 360).
