Cocklaw Tower, East Cocklaw, Wall - Northumberland (UA)
C14 tower containing wall paintings of probable C16 date. The tower is roofless, with self-seeded shrubs in the wall tops and over the first floor barrel-vaulting. Areas of the wall tops are vulnerable and there has been a partial collapse of the vaulting. The wall paintings show recent loss and are highly vulnerable, but have been subject to detailed archaeological recording.
