Birdoswald House Birdoswald Stronghouse was originally a 17th century defensible stonehouse, founded by the Tweddel family. Successor to Birdoswald Bastle House, it stands against the west gate, within the remains of Banna Roman Fort. Two of its walls and a window, are incorporated in the fine 19th century towered manor house, which now stands on the site.
