Lanton deserted village (Ewart)
A village once stood alongside the banks of the River Glen near Lanton Tower. A medieval document refers to it as Langeton, probably meaning Longtown, suggesting it was a large settlement. The remains that can be seen today include earthworks of old field banks and a few building foundations.
