What is recorded here

Dirleton, 1, 2 Castle Mains holds two farm labourers cottages built during the 19th Century. They sit beside Castle Mains, small enough that a whole life may have passed inside one room. The men who worked the land likely heard the castle walls before they saw them, and they built homes that answered rather than competed.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dirleton, 1, 2 Castle Mains as Farm Labourers Cottage (19th Century). 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.
