What is recorded here

Hawkshaw Castle in the Scottish Borders is an enclosure whose age and purpose have never been recorded, leaving a hole in the story where a date or owner should sit. The land may have swallowed a hall, a boundary or a whole life, but the name still points to a shape that someone drew and defended.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hawkshaw Castle as Enclosure (period Unassigned). 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
