What is recorded here
Snade is a medieval castle and unassigned earthwork in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Its exact position is known within ten metres, yet the distinction between built wall and shaped earth has never been recorded. The land may have worn away every human claim, leaving only a ridge that resistes definition.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Snade as Castle (medieval), Earthwork (period Unassigned). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
