What is recorded here

Kirkliston, 25, 27 High Street, Castle House: a 15th-century ditch, a 17th-century house, a 12th-century linear feature, and unidentified medieval pottery in the City of Edinburgh. The ditch may have marked a boundary or kept rain away; the house may have stood where a room still warm from hands and argument. The linear feature may be a track, a drain or a line drawn by people who believed they would be remembered. Under the street, those shapes wait without naming themselves.
