What is recorded here

Lanark, Castlegate holds unassigned pits, a lost coin and unidentified 14th Century pottery, marking a busy stretch of town life rather than a grand ceremonial site. The pits may have held refuse, tools or discarded food from nearby households, while the coin suggests someone dropped payment during an ordinary errand. That small loss turns a forgotten corner into a moment when a real person moved through Lanark, spent money and left behind only a hint for later curiosity.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lanark, Castlegate as Pit(s) (period Unassigned), Coin (period Unassigned), Unidentified Pottery (14th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
