Whitton Farm North Cottage (Whitton and Tosson)
West end of Whitton Farm North Cottage, Tosson. Photo by Peter Ryder.
This two-storeyed cottage stands to the west of North Farm. The lower walls are very thick and built of roughly shaped stone. This suggests that the house may once have been a bastle, built in the 16th or 17th century.
