The village {of Newmoor} is a collection of largely derelict houses, one of which is a bastle. (Dodds 1999)

Stable and byre. Probably C17, altered in later C18. Large roughly-squared stone with some cut dressings; Welsh slate roof. Single storey, 2 wide bays. Stable on right has vertical-panelled door in heavy block surround, flanked by stone-surround windows; doorway, flanked by slit vents, at left. Raised coping to gables. Lower shelter shed range to right is not of special interest. (Listed Building Report)

Gatehouse Comments

The township is called Newmoor-House, although that name is also given to Newmoor Hall. No building is identified as a bastle in the archaeological databases so it is difficult to known to what Dodds is referring but the remains of a C17 byre, listed grade 2, are a possibility. Since this was a single storey building it was not a bastle.
