Burneside Hall is a pele tower and associated gatehouse situated in Westmorland in the English Lake District. The structure dates from the medieval period and represents a defensive residence characteristic of the border regions of northern England, where such fortified dwellings provided protection during periods of cross-border conflict. The pele tower forms the core of the complex, a robust stone structure typical of its type, with the gatehouse serving a complementary defensive function within the wider manorial settlement. The monument survives as a significant example of medieval domestic architecture adapted to the security requirements of the region during the later medieval period.
