What is recorded here

Castle Ban is a medieval motte in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, where a raised earthwork still marks the boundary between human ambition and forgotten time. The soil may have shaken under boot heels, carriage wheels or bare feet during storms, yet no named hand or date remains attached to that motion. The mound endures as a quiet witness, holding the shape of urgency long after the urgency disappeared.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Ban as Motte (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
