What is recorded here

Within a hundred and sixty metres of Eassie, a rectangular mound still holds the footprint of a medieval castle, its deep ditch and causeway surviving beneath a house and garden. Coins of Edward I and a lost spearhead hint that the site witnessed more than quiet farming, perhaps even serving as a crannog before becoming a dry stronghold. The earthworks remain wide enough to suggest a defensive castle rather than a simple homestead moat, preserving a boundary between domestic life and martial purpose.
