Bastle at The Raw Farm is a seventeenth-century fortified farmhouse located in Northumberland, England. The structure represents a characteristic defensive dwelling of the Anglo-Scottish Border region, built during a period when agricultural communities required protection against raids and livestock theft. Bastles typically feature a vaulted ground floor for securing animals and valuables, with residential quarters above, and this example preserves evidence of such practical fortification adapted to the needs of farming families. The monument remains significant as a material record of Border life and the architectural responses developed to address the security challenges of the early modern period.
