Hazelslack Tower is a pele tower located in Westmorland, dating from the medieval period. The structure represents a form of fortified dwelling common to the Anglo-Scottish border region and surrounding areas during the later medieval era. The tower would have served both defensive and residential purposes, providing protection during the period of cross-border raiding that characterised the borderlands. Such towers formed an important part of the landscape of northern England during the medieval period, reflecting the military and social conditions of their time.
