Bastle at Colwell Demesne (Chollerton)
Colwell Demesne bastle, Chollerton. Photo by Peter Ryder.
The farm of Colwell Demesne was once a bastle built as a defence against attacks for reivers. One of the largest stones had letters carved on it, and it may be a reused carving of Roman date. The building has been much altered in the 18th and 19th centuries.
