What is recorded here
Medieval rig and furrow still break the cleuch beside possible tower house remains, proving Howden Cleuch served as a working estate rather than an empty hill. The land may have supported households, herds and disputes long before modern boundaries drew their straight lines.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Howden Cleuch as Enclosure(s) (period Unassigned), Field Boundary(s) (period Unassigned), Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval), Ring Enclosure(s) (period Unassigned), Tower House (medieval)(possible).
