Wattlesborough Castle (uninhabited parts), Alberbury with Cardeston - Shropshire (UA)
Remains of a large square tower of the castle, now without a roof. Probably late C13 for Sir Robert Corbet. The wall heads are particularly vulnerable; some blocks of masonry have fallen from high level. The owner was previously considering consolidation and re-roofing works to facilitate domestic use, but a repair and development scheme has yet to be put forward.
