notes: 'Imported in bulk from Cadw''s scheduled-monument register. One register speaks and
  nothing corroborates it, hence confidence: low. Only fortified_residence carries a verdict;
  every other band is OMITTED rather than set to no, because no source consulted so far speaks
  to them. Upgrading this record means applying the bands to the structure itself and setting
  assessment: assessed.'
