What is recorded here

Enclosure castle in Northumberland holds two 16th century gun turrets beside an early 17th century house, marking a time when fire and domestic life shared one boundary. The turrets may have watched for trouble while the house gave warmth, dinner and sleep to the people beside them. Distance, not permission, should decide whether that place is visited.

The National Heritage List for England records Enclosure castle, two 16th century gun turrets and an early 17th century house as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
