What is recorded here
Castlehill, Gravel Pit is a sand and gravel working in Aberdeenshire where heavy machines bit into ancient river deposits. The exact era remains unassigned, but the scarred ground still shows the hunger of industry and the patience of stone. People may have watched trucks climb the steep banks or listened for the crash of broken gravel at dusk. The pit is a temporary wound in the earth, waiting for water and grass to erase the memory of extraction.
