Underwood House in South Ayrshire, Scotland, layers a post Medieval house beside a medieval moat and tower house. The water may have swallowed older stones, yet it still draws the eye downward, forcing imagination to fill the dark. People may have lived above that depth, watching rain fill the pit while the tower rose against the sky.
