What is recorded here

Castle Inn marks a silver coin findspot in the Scottish Borders, preserving a moment when precious metal left human control and waited for earth to hold it. The name suggests a busy doorway where travellers drank, talked and dropped what they carried. Whether the coin fell during joy or fear, it entered the ground and became a marker for the life that vanished above it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Inn as Findspot (period Unassigned), Coin(s) (silver)(period Unassigned).
