Indefinite records exist of what may have been a small square earthwork in the vicinity of Manor Castle (NS 8271 9490), but it would be unsafe to associate this with the castle. The references quoted by the RCAHMS refer to "an old 4 square castellam containing an acre of ground" (W Macfarlane 1906) while the New Statistical Account (NSA 1845) mentions a "Roman fort", with the Manor Ford, formed of loose stones, connected with it. Though the ford was extant in 1841, the "fort" had disappeared by then.

'The vestige of an old 4 square Castellam' which was recorded in the vicinity of Manor Castle in 1724, appears to have been removed by the middle of the 19th century.
