Gatehouse South Bastle is a fortified farmhouse located in Northumberland, dating to the early modern period. Bastles were defensive structures built by upland farmers and small landowners during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, designed to provide protection for both inhabitants and livestock during cross-border raids and local conflict. The building exemplifies the characteristic bastle plan, with a vaulted ground floor for cattle and upper storey accommodation for the family. This particular example contributes to the archaeological and historical record of border defensive architecture in the Anglo-Scottish frontier region.
