In the parish of Alberbury with Cardeston , near the village of Halfway House on the Shrewsbury to Welshpool road, the castle was probably built in the late 13th century for Sir Richard Corbet. It comprised a square two storey tower surrounded by a moated enclosure with a fishpond.
It was bought by the Leighton family circa 1501 and used as their chief residence until circa 1711. At that time an adjoining farm building was constructed and named Wattlesborough Hall.
