Coldmartin Tower is a pele tower situated in Northumberland, northeastern England. The structure dates from the medieval period and represents the defensive architecture characteristic of the Anglo-Scottish borderlands, where such fortified towers served as strongholds for local families and provided refuge during periods of cross-border raiding. The tower's construction and design reflect the strategic importance of the region during the later medieval centuries when border security was a pressing concern for settled communities.
