| Castle Banks | Castle Banks | Wm Smith Esq | 11 1/2 Chains East | An eminence near the | ||
| Castle Banks | McKenzie’s History | of the Town | East end of the Village | |||
| Castle Banks | Whellan’s Directory | Hall. | of Haltwhistle on the | |||
| summit of which is | ||||||
| the remains of an | ||||||
| ancient camp | ||||||
| which may account for the | ||||||
| name "Castle" | ||||||
| (This is quite a natural feature) | ||||||
| Camp | Camp | Wm Smith Esq | 11 1/2 Chains | The remains of a Camp, situated on | ||
| (Remains of) | Camp | Robert Pattinson Esq | East of the | the Castle Banks, it was defeneded by | ||
| Camp | Mr John Pattison | Town Hall | a breastwork of earth on three sides | |||
| viz the North, East and West ones | ||||||
| and by a large natural slope on the | ||||||
| South, which slope is quite accessible | ||||||
| not as McKenzie says "Inaccessible" | ||||||
| The rampart or breastwork is in a | ||||||
| good state of preservation. | ||||||
| The opinion of the greater part | ||||||
| of my informants are that it is | ||||||
| the remains of a British Camp. | ||||||
| It commands an interesting view | ||||||
| of part of the vale of the South | ||||||
| Tyne to the East as far as Haydon | ||||||
| Bridge & to the West for about | ||||||
| 4 or 5 miles, the views North and | ||||||
| South are limited, owing to the | ||||||
| abrupt manner in which Hills | ||||||
| rise. | ||||||
