The only manufactory is linen thread, for the spinning of which there is a neat and commodious stone building, erected a few years ago, the machinery of which is put in motion by the power of water. The lord of the manor is Lord Downes. The river Eske passes on the N. side in its way to Whitby.

Castleton appears to have been so called, from an ancient castle which stood here; and of which there are still some evident remains; but at what period this fortification, which seems to have been of a circular form, was erected, our accounts are silent. -Graves. It is now the principal place in Danby-Dale."
