Castle Hill, Motte

Archaeological place

What is recorded here

Castle Hill, Motte is an archaeological place in Angus, Scotland, where a mound of earth still marks the footprint of a lost fortress. Men may have climbed its slope in darkness, listening for horses or hunger, while women carried water to its base until the stones collapsed into grass. The hill keeps that much closer than any written chronicle because soil remembers the weight of footsteps even when names disappear.
Castle Hill, Motte is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Angus. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
