What is recorded here

Ravenstone Castle in Kennels, Dumfries and Galloway, still keeps its name though no date or chamber has emerged to explain it. The stones may have marked a boundary, a home or a warning, but the absence of facts leaves the castle owning the dark instead of people owning the castle. Its location is exact even when its meaning is not, which is often how abandoned places resist being known.
