What is recorded here
Falkirk, 'maiden Castle' is a possible medieval motte in Scotland, recorded only as a point accurate to the nearest ten metres. The name suggests a maiden, yet no maiden appears in the facts. Perhaps a woman lived there, loved there, or was lost there. The earth may still hold that much more than a marker.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Falkirk, 'maiden Castle' as Motte (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
