Tarset Castle is a ruin near Tarset in Northumberland.

History

A licence to crenellate was granted to John Comyn in 1267, and the castle was built half a mile south-west of the present village of Tarset.[1] The castle, which had four square corner turrets, was destroyed by Sir Ralph Fenwick in 1525.[2] All that remains now is some stone foundations on top of a mound.[3]

The remains of the castle are a Grade II* listed structure.[1]
