What is recorded here

Horsbrugh Castle stands ruined beside the River Tweed, its sixteenth-century stones thrown up by the Horsburghs to watch the border road. Yet the land itself is older, carrying a bronze age cremation and a small cinerary urn where somebody loved and lost someone before towers existed. The castle changed the shape of the place, but it did not invent the sadness already buried beneath it.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Horsbrugh Castle as Cremation (bronze Age), Cinerary Urn (bronze Age), Razor (bronze)(bronze Age).
