Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ryehill as Farmstead (post Medieval), Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Ryehill Tower House was a medieval defensive structure, likely built in the late 15th or early 16th century, reflecting the need for local security during a period of clan conflict in Scotland. It is remembered as an example of the transition from purely military castles to more domestic tower houses in the Scottish Borders and Lowlands.
