Harbybrow Peel Tower, Cumberland

Harbybrow Peel Tower is a tower house in Cumberland. It is located about midway between Wigton and Maryport and built in 1465 by Alexander Highmoor. The pele tower connected to the manor house was used to shelter animals during raids in the days of the border reivers. A house was added to the tower in 1550 but this was demolished and replaced by a 19th-century farmhouse and barn. It is within the council area of Cumberland.
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1007257.
