Gatehouse Comments

Dwelling called castell beside road on 1st edition and modern map. The site has a good view into England over Wat's Dyke but doesn't seem to be to a likely site for a medieval castle. What is the relationship between this site and nearby Castell Rhosesmor ? It is more likely the placename has migrated.
