What is recorded here
Castle Hill, Crawford is a prehistoric burnt mound in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where ancient people heated stones and dumped them into water. The place still belongs to that old human activity, not to modern invention. It may have served cooking, bathing, craft work or ceremony, and the hill itself preserves the result rather than explaining the intent.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill, Crawford as Burnt Mound (prehistoric). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
