What is recorded here

Balnagown Castle, Entrance Gates stand in Highland, Scotland, marked as Gate(s) (period Unassigned) in Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment. The official map places them within one metre, yet no date or owner emerges from the stones. They may have judged who entered, who left, or who was forgotten outside. The gates still divide the castle from the surrounding land, preserving a boundary older than memory.
