What is recorded here

Castle Hill, Auchtertool, is a possible enclosure and a possible first World War trench, a dual identity that suggests the land has been shaped more than once. The hill may have stood as a boundary marker before becoming a training ground for soldiers learning to dig and hold ground. In either case, the earth was cut and shaped by human hands, and the result is a place where history layers itself rather than fading away.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill, Auchtertool as Enclosure (period Unassigned)(possible), Trench (first World War)(possible). 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.
