Low Cleughs Bastle is a fortified farmhouse of late medieval date located in Northumberland near the Anglo-Scottish border. The structure represents the bastle-house type, a defensive dwelling characteristic of the Border region during periods of cross-border raiding, typically dating from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Bastles combined domestic accommodation with robust stone construction designed to provide refuge for inhabitants and livestock during incursions. The monument survives as a substantial stone building that exemplifies the architectural response to the security challenges faced by farming communities in the volatile borderlands during the early modern period.
