Bastle 40m north east of Low Angerton is a seventeenth-century fortified farmhouse located in Northumberland. The structure represents a characteristic example of the bastle-house type, a defensive dwelling built during the period of cross-border raids and livestock theft that characterised the Anglo-Scottish border region. Bastles typically featured thick stone walls with minimal window openings on the lower storey to provide protection, whilst upper floors provided domestic accommodation. This example illustrates the practical fortification strategies employed by rural communities in the volatile borderlands during the early modern period.
