Description

Burradon Tower, located east of Burradon House, is a tower house dating from the mid-16th century. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and features long quoins. The building has a square plan with one bay, a basement, and two floors.

On the east elevation, there is a chamfered surround to an elliptical-headed doorway, with a slit window positioned above it to the right. The left side of the tower has an inserted doorway with wooden jambs and a lintel beneath a stone lintel. There is a sill for a three-light stone-mullioned window at the first floor, along with two small square windows to the right on both the first and second floors. Above the east door, remnants of a corbel table and a parapet with machicolation can be seen, supported by three deep corbels. The tower was in a ruinous state at the time of the survey.

The interior of the building was not inspected.
