What is recorded here

Edington Castle is a cist and mound in the Scottish Borders, where a Bronze Age chamber still lies beneath an unnamed mound. The chamber may have held a dead person, a treasure, or a warning for the living. The mound above it has no date, so either the cist was forgotten or it was hidden on purpose. Both possibilities fit the silence of the Borders, where even stone keeps some of its answers back.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edington Castle as Cist (bronze Age), Mound (period Unknown). 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.
