What is recorded here

Cowden Castle, Stables stands in Clackmannanshire as a nineteenth-century farmstead recorded in 1873, though the arch beside it resists easy dating. The main building served practical rural life, while the arch waits for identification, perhaps marking an entrance now lost or a boundary forgotten. Together they suggest a estate where domestic work and mysterious structure coexisted, one clear and one elusive.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Cowden Castle, Stables as Arch (period Unassigned), Farmstead (19th Century) (1873). 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.
