What is recorded here

Kilravock Castle gate piers stand in Highland, Scotland, marked only as gate structures with no assigned period. They belong to a castle whose main story is recorded elsewhere, leaving these stones as a threshold rather than a chamber. Whatever lived behind them passed through this narrow opening, and the piers still hold the shape of that passage.
