What is recorded here

Careston Castle, South Gates stands in Angus, Scotland, a gate whose age remains unknown but whose position is exact to the nearest metre. The stones may have marked a boundary between private land and public road, a threshold where carts slowed and people watched. Whatever life moved through that opening, the gates still point to the castle they once served.
