Bastle 40m north east of Low Angerton is a fortified farmhouse of Early Modern date, likely constructed during the sixteenth or seventeenth century. The structure represents the characteristic defensive architecture developed in the Anglo-Scottish border region during the period of cross-border raiding and lawlessness. Bastles combined domestic accommodation with fortified elements designed to protect occupants and livestock from theft and violence. This example survives as a scheduled ancient monument, testament to the historical importance of such structures in understanding the troubled frontier history of Northumberland.
