Applegarth House, motte 65m S of, is a Medieval motte situated in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The earthwork is a raised mound characteristic of motte-and-bailey fortifications, a common form of early medieval military architecture in Britain following the Norman Conquest and into the High Medieval period. The motte's survival and recorded location indicate it formed part of the defensive landscape of southwest Scotland during the medieval centuries. Such monuments typically served as the strongholds of Norman or Anglo-Norman lords establishing control over frontier territories and regional settlements during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
