What is recorded here

Larbert House in Falkirk, Scotland, is a possible medieval castle and earthwork, its exact boundary marked to the nearest metre. It may have stood as a fortress before becoming a domestic residence, though the transition remains uncertain. The earthwork suggests human hands shaped the land for defence or display, while the house implies later comfort and continuity. Together they hint at a place where danger and domestication collided, leaving behind a landscape that still carries the weight of that change.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Larbert House as Castle (medieval)(possible), Earthwork (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.
