What is recorded here
Hynd Castle is a ruined tower in Angus, Scotland, whose date remains uncertain. The small chamber may have stood on a crannog or a natural knoll, surrounded once by water and marsh. Its thick walls still hold the shape of a narrow room where someone lived, watched, or waited. A sandstone spindle whorl from the site now rests in Dundee Museum, carrying a fragment of ordinary life away from the ruin.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Hynd Castle as Findspot (period Unassigned), Spindle Whorl (sandstone)(period Unassigned).
