Alleged site of a stonehouse or bastle at Lineside. A will of 1746 refers to a 'Scott of Stonehouse, Lineside.' This could be identified with the stonehouse at Burnfoot. (PastScape ref. Perriam and Robinson)

Gatehouse Comments

A building labelled "Stone House" is shown here on the 1895 1:2500 OS map although nothing is now visible on modern map or air photographs. See Burnfoot tower or bastle.
