Legend ties this ruined castle to Uther Pendragon. Also believed to be the location of his death by poisoning of the well by saxon dogs and is also known for a failed attempt to divert the River Eden to create a moat for his castle. History of course lists off a number of other owners. All powerful and important in their day but none of their names recognizable to me. More evidence that fame and power are usually reduced to nothing more than rubble and pasture. Legend transcends history.
