| These are the remains of a 16th or 17th century bastle standing at the foot of a steep slope in the valley of the Tarset Burn. It is rectangular in shape and has thick stone walls. Above the doorway there is a narrow channel cut through the wall. This may have been to pour water through to put out fires lit against the door. The basement shows the remains of a vaulted roof. There are traces of two buildings to the west of the bastle. This is a Grade II Listed Building and a Scheduled Monument protected by law. See also:
