What is recorded here
Castlehill Broch stands in Highland, Scotland, a ruined tower from the broch age when people built stone walls thick enough to resist storms and raiders. Its purpose is no longer certain, but the shape still suggests a family home, a refuge, or a small centre of local life. The castle hill may have given the place its name, or the broch may have given the hill its character.
Castlehill Broch is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Highland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
