Castle. Present name probably a corruption of Aykhurst for which a licence to
crenellate was issued in 1322 to Robert de Leyburn; probably established before

of square-plan tower house remains on motte. Sandstone block facings with
rubble core; c4 ft thick and c20 ft high. Other stones re-used in surrounding
buildings. Scheduled Ancient Monument.
