What is recorded here
Position of causeway in Crookston Castle's ringworks is a castle, fort or tower in Glasgow City, Scotland. Perhaps the causeway cut through water or mud, forcing every visitor to walk a narrow line where guard hands could reach. Maybe the ringworks stood like a clenched fist around that line, showing strength without warning. Imagine boots pressing wet earth while people watched from above, certain the path could close at any moment.
