What is recorded here

Rait Castle stands as a prehistoric earthwork and cropmark in Highland, Scotland, marking soil and seed rather than proud stone walls. It may have been a castle or hall house from the Early Medieval period through the nineteenth century, yet no clear chamber, hearth or named owner survives in the facts provided. What is certain is that the ground still holds the shape of a place important enough to protect, while the lives inside it have faded into rain, grass and forgetting.
