Whitlees Bastle (Elsdon)
One of the buildings on Whitlees farm seems to be a late 16th or early 17th century strong house. It has many characteristics of a bastle, such as walls built of massive stones and a boulder plinth, as well as walls over 1.3m thick. However, there is no trace of a barrel vault and for this reason experts consider it is not a true bastle. This is a Grade II Listed Building protected by law.

Whitlees Bastle
This appears to be a late C16 or early C17 strong house. It contains most of the features typical of a bastle, however, there is no barrel vault, and for this reason experts consider it not a true bastle.
