What is recorded here

Nether Riccarton stands in the Scottish Borders as a possible medieval tower house, its stones marked by age rather than modern certainty. The exact location remains within a hundred metres, leaving the true chamber hidden behind ordinary ground. A person may have built it to watch the land or hide from it, yet no clear story survives to confirm that purpose. The ambiguity does not weaken the place; it preserves the danger and wonder that led someone to build there.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Nether Riccarton as Tower House (medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
