What is recorded here
Castle Hill is a Neolithic henge where golf bunkers have bitten into the ancient earth. The contradiction is vivid: sacred geometry interrupted by recreational leisure. Yet the ditch remains, holding its shape against both time and turf.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill, Muir of Ord as Barrow (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. 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.
