The Tower of the ruined chapel of St Margaret is a fragmentary medieval structure located in Westmorland in the north-west of England. The surviving remains consist principally of a stone tower, which formed part of a chapel dedicated to Saint Margaret, dating from the medieval period. The site represents the vestiges of religious architecture typical of the region, though the chapel itself has largely disappeared, leaving the tower as the primary evidence of the building's former presence. The monument reflects the pattern of medieval chapelries in the upland areas of northern England, though detailed documentary evidence concerning its specific founding date and historical development remains limited.
