What is recorded here

Castle Crawford Farm holds a cinerary urn, an unassigned vessel for ashes in South Lanarkshire. The farm name suggests living people, not just a dead man’s jar. Perhaps the urn belonged to someone the farm forgot, or the farm belonged to someone the urn preserved. Either way, the place keeps both lives: the field and the ash.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Crawford Farm as Cinerary Urn (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
