Description
This is a ruined bastle located 600 yards north-north-east of Low Leam Farm, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed of random rubble with large quoins on a boulder plinth, and the walls are 4 feet thick. The building measures 45 feet by 25 feet, with three walls still standing nearly to their full height.
On the long side of the bastle, there is an original ground-floor door positioned to the right of center, featuring massive jamb stones and a lintel with rounded edges. Above this door, there is a similar surround for the original upper door. On the first floor, there are small square windows to the left and right, each with chamfered surrounds and holes for iron bars. The rear wall includes slit windows on both floors.
Inside, there are rebates for a horizontally-hung door and drawbars. At the first-floor level, there is a set-back for roof timbers and corbelling on the right gable end for a fireplace, along with three square recesses.
