Destroyed house for which John Trussell was granted a licence to crenellate in 1338.

Gatehouse Comments

The actual site of this house is lost but probably at, or near, the site occupied by the C19 Kibblestone Hall demolished in 1954. The area may have been altered by quarrying but the general topography may well exclude this house from being moated.
