Pair of bastle houses, C16, altered C18 and C20. Rubble with large roughly-shaped
quoins, slate roof, squared stone stack on right gable. Left gable stack rebuilt
in brick on old base. Front elevation shows remains of original ground floor door
to right of Cl9 boarded door. Other openings C18 and C20. Rear elevation with
blocked 1st floor door to east bastle, square-headed with moulded surround, and
blocked single-light window in chamfered surround. Wall of west bastle set slightly
forward. C20 windows. Range of former farmbuildings adjoining west bastle not of
interest.
Although much altered, the bastles retain a number of original features, notably
the blocked 1st floor door, unusual and almost Scottish in character.
