II

Bastle house. Late C16 or early C17. Grey calciferous sandstone rubble. 3
extremely thick walls of the ground floor of a former 2-storey house. Fourth
wall is rebuilt and includes original chamfered and rebated jambs with drawbar
tunnel forming present entrance. Interior dividing wall is a later addition and
