Hayne Castle

Also known as, or recorded in historical documents as; Haine

In the civil parish of Stowford.
In the historic county of Devon (Modern Authority of Devon, 1974 county of Devon).

Record on map as 'site of castle' but with no evidence. PastScape record as "The alleged site of Haine Castle, reputed to be a large quadrangular mansion, in the castellated style, erected circa 1810." I don't think this has ever been suggested as the site of a medieval castle and Higham may have mislead by the ambigious map labelling.

This site has been described as a;
Uncertain.
This site is rejected as a medieval fortification or palace.
