Barn to the north of Annat Walls house is an adaptation of a pair of bastles. There is a datestone 'IW WW, 1707' on the eastern bastle. There is an illustration and plan of the structure. The farmhouse itself, altered in 1930, was formerly dated 1765 and was a bastle derivative, with two-storeys above a basement. (PastScape–ref. Perriam and Robinson)
