Scope note
Refers to distinctive, rural fortified dwellings of relatively modest size; particularly, but not exclusively, those dating from the 13th century and later in northern Europe. These "stone houses" were typically owned by local minor lords or land holders; they were usually made of stone. Do not use this term to indicate common houses made of the material stone; instead, use material = "stone (worked rock)" plus work type = "house."
