Cotherstone Castle

About

Cotherstone Castle was in the village of Cotherstone by the River Tees some 3 miles (5 km) north-east of Barnard Castle in County Durham, England. This was a motte and bailey castle built around 1090. In 1200 the wooden building was replaced by a stone building, of which was licensed on 2 March 1201.

The remains include an earth mound, a ruined wall fragment and traces of a probable fishpond. There is no public right of way onto the land the Castle occupied, which is now used for pasture.
