What is recorded here

Castle Newe stands in Strathdon, Aberdeenshire, where a barrel-vaulted cellar and corridor still lie buried beneath the soil. The original building lacked defensive features, but people added rooms in 1791 and raised a new house in 1831 before demolishing it around 1950. A datestone marking 1604 once sat above that door, linking the changing structure to a much older identity. The castle never needed walls against invasion because its purpose was domestic, yet it vanished so completely that only its underground bones remain.
