What is recorded here
Goosehill is a possible medieval castle and moat in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, where unassigned gold coins still belong to the same unknown time. The earth may have hidden a small defensive house, a flooded ditch and a moment when someone dropped or buried bright metal. That is enough to make the hill feel occupied, because a castle needs a keeper and coins need a journey.
