What is recorded here

Gauldwell Castle is a medieval castle in Moray, Scotland, built around the 13th century though a castle may have stood in Boharm Parish since the 12th century. Its north, south and east sides are extensively ruined, revealing only fragments of inner wall, while a courtyard and overgrown building footings still mark the east side. A parish minister recorded the castle and several silver spoons in 1796, and a 1955 excavation recovered pottery, animal bones and metal objects whose whereabouts are no longer known.
