Castle Hewen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castle Hewen (also recorded as Castlewen; Castle Luen; Castellewyn; Castellewyne; Castlehewings; Castle-Ewaine and Castle Lewen[1][2]) was a Romano-British castle near High Hesket, in the civil parish of Hesket, in the Westmorland and Furness district, in the county of Cumbria, England.[3] It overlooked the now-drained Tarn Wadling, and was supposedly occupied by Owain mab Urien.[4] All that remain, as at 2023, are earthworks.
Castle Hewen was situated on a ridge near Aiketgate, in the civil parish of Hesket, in the Eden district of Cumbria, England. It is located to the north-east of Tarn Wadling and west of the River Eden.[3][5][6] The castle was within the boundaries of Inglewood Forest, a royal forest.[7]
