There are two Warks in Northumberland (in addition to Warkworth), both had castles. Heaton Castle was a few miles north east of Wark on Tweed, and a little SE of Twisel. In 1415 it belonged to Sir Thomas Gray (one tower was a large carving of a lion rampant, the emblem of the Hetons and the Greys). The site is now a farmstead. Heton/Heaton is said to be ghosted. Close by is the ruins of Etal Castle.

As for the Castle of Wark upon Tweed, I beleive I have preveiously posted details and should be in the archives. Cornhill (which, in 1541 had a tower) is between Heton and this Wark. The other Wark is on the Tyne.
