Appletree Shield (ruins)


The castlesque ruins of the former Appletree Shield farm, by Wellhope Burn, are located about 2 miles south-west of Ninebanks in West Allen. Whellan's 1855 directory of Northumberland lists Appletree Shield under the grieveship of High West Allen in the ancient parish of Allendale, and the farmer at that time was Mary Walton.[1]
