What is recorded here

Dumfries, 17 Castle Street holds a water tank whose age remains unknown. The structure stands in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, storing liquid for purposes no longer recorded. It may have served ships, households or soldiers, but that much has been lost. The tank still waits beside Castle Street, patient and unseen, keeping its water for whoever remembers to ask.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dumfries, 17 Castle Street as Water Tank (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
