Stonehouse Tower (NY 46384) Remains as described by Curwen. Although it is now called 'tower' the remains suggest that it was a bastle. (5)
This probable bastle, of no known local name except 'The Tower', has dimensions as stated and stands on the edge of a level arable field. The 1.4m wide south and east walls of block and pinning construction stand to a maximum height of 3.0m and show an internal rebate line for the upper floor at 2.4m. There is an open loophole in the east wall, but the opening in the south wall is a simple recess 0.5m deep. The foundations of the north and west arms are turf-covered and overgrown, as is the interior. A stone-built lean-to barn stands against the east wall. Surveyed at 1:2500. (6)
