What is recorded here

Corgarth Castle, Cock Burn, Cock Bridge is a road bridge in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, recorded without a clear period. It spans a small watercourse and carries traffic past a castle name, linking ordinary movement to a older sounding place. The bridge does not need a date to be useful; it still crosses the burn and gives the castle a visible address.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Corgarth Castle, Cock Burn, Cock Bridge as Road Bridge (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Corgarth Castle is a medieval structure associated with the de Corgarth family, who held the land in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is remembered for its strategic position near Cock Bridge in Cumbria, close to the Scottish border, and for its role in the turbulent history of the Border Reivers.
