What is recorded here
Castlehill in Inverness is a layered military site where a castle, fort and county buildings occupied the same hill, leaving a restored well and fragment of rampart as visible proof. It is recorded as a possible enclosure rather than a finished museum piece, which suits a place that kept changing shape under pressure. The hill still works as a warning about how quickly stone can be taken, reused or erased.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill as Enclosure (period Unassigned)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. 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.
