Bastle-type building referred to by Grundy presumably at NY 79208802 - c.8m x 5.5m, with walls 0.6m-0.8m thick. Further east at NY 79268804 are ruins of another building 8m x 5m, walls 0.8m thick. Both of some age, though neither really looks like a bastle (Ryder 1990). (Northumberland HER)

Gatehouse Comments

See also Burnmouth Bastle 1 This does seems to be shown on the 1862 OS map as wall outlines. In this area there was a high density of bastles but one should note Peter Ryder's words and not assume that every old rectangular thick walled building was a bastle.
