What is recorded here

Outer Woodhead in Dumfries and Galloway may have been a medieval tower house, though no certain fact supports that claim. If stone walls once rose there, they fell before memory and left only a hidden point on the ground. The absence does not diminish the place; it invites imagination to fill the gap.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Outer Woodhead as Tower House (medieval)(possible). 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.
