What is recorded here

Invershin Castle is a buried motte on the Kyle of Sutherland, likely built in the 12th century when the de Moravias were shaping northern Scotland. Its ditch and mound still mark a narrow crossing place, but the castle itself has almost vanished under scrub and forgotten time. What remains is not a grand ruin but a shape of earth that once commanded a valley, perhaps topped by stone, perhaps abandoned before it became legend.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Invershin Castle as Motte (medieval). 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.
