Bastle at The Raw Farm is a fortified farmhouse located in Northumberland, dating to the early modern period. The structure represents the defensive architecture typical of the Anglo-Scottish border region, where such buildings combined domestic and protective functions to counter the threat of raids and cattle theft. The bastle's design incorporates thick walls and a ground floor constructed to withstand attack, with residential quarters situated above, a layout characteristic of sixteenth and seventeenth-century Northumbrian border fortifications. This monument provides material evidence of the militarised agricultural society that existed along the English border during the period of Anglo-Scottish conflict.
