Survey of 1541 stated that there was no tower in Humbleton, but on a map of 1584 a tower is marked. A later survey of about 1715 referred to the remains of an 'old pile' in the village. A further account of 1878 stated that traces of a pele tower could still be seen, and was marked by a bush of elder. However, it is not possible to locate the site, and no trace survives today.
