What is recorded here

Dromiskin House still stands above the buried castle, preserving a boundary between memory and forgetfulness. Whether the castle was a fortress, a residence or a marker for a lost field, it has stopped resisting time and become part the land. The house remembers more than people because it stopped asking the castle to explain itself.

A castle formerly situated in grounds of Dromiskin House (Leslie 1908, 181,185; Love 1964, 353-4). It precise location is not known.
