Birdoswald, Grade II listed farmhouse in Waterhead, England.
The farmhouse exhibits coursed rubble masonry with Welsh slate roofs, featuring a central porch and a two-story tower on the western side.
The property dates back to 1211 when Walter de Beivin established farming operations, later donating portions of the land to Lanercost Priory.
The farmhouse structure incorporates elements from multiple centuries of British architecture, from medieval defensive features to Victorian residential modifications.
The building houses an information center and museum facilities where visitors can learn about the history of Hadrian's Wall and Roman occupation.
The structure sits directly atop the remains of a Roman fort named Banna, integrating ancient foundations within its 19th-century construction.
