What is recorded here

Castle Law, Glencorse holds an Iron Age underground passage beside prehistoric fort remains and neolithic cup marks. The hill has layered human life from ancient defence to medieval cultivation and modern boundary stones. The passage may have served trade, ritual or escape, but no written account preserves that purpose.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Law, Glencorse Man-made underground passage as Boundary Stone(s) (20th Century), Cultivation Terrace(s) (medieval), Cup Marked Stone (neolithic), Fort (prehistoric), Rig and Furrow (medieval), Man-made underground passage (iron Age).
