What is recorded here

Stanhope, Norman's Castle sits in the Scottish Borders as an Iron Age dun, marked by a bronze penannular brooch and unassigned stone tools. The land may have held people long before written history, shaping stone and wearing bronze through seasons now lost. What remains is a point on the earth, accurate to ten metres, waiting for someone to stand beside it and imagine the hands that made it.
