It is so called to this day, and is thus described by Dr. 
      Whitaker:--"Rylstone Fell yet exhibits a monument of the old 
      warfare between the Nortons and Cliffords. On a point of very high 
      ground, commanding an immense prospect, and protected by two deep 
      ravines, are the remains of a square tower, expressly said by 
      Dodsworth to have been built by Richard Norton. The walls are of 
      strong grout-work, about four feet thick. It seems to have been 
      three stories high. Breaches have been industriously made in all 
      the sides, almost to the ground, to render it untenable.

        "But Norton Tower was probably a sort of pleasure-house in 
      summer, as there are, adjoining to it, several large mounds (two 
      of them are pretty entire), of which no other account can be given 
      than that they were butts for large companies of archers.

        "The place is savagely wild, and admirably adapted to the uses 
      of a watch tower."
