Ford Pele, a ruined tower house also known as Parson's Tower, is situated south west of Ford Castle. It is 30 feet square but is now only 12 feet high. It was burnt in a Scottish attack of 1513 but was rebuilt by the vicar. The upper storeys of the tower were demolished in the mid-nineteenth century to enhance the view from the castle.
