Castlehill Pavement Works, Quarry

Quarry (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castlehill Pavement Works, Quarry is a Highland cutting where stone was taken for pavement, though no date or owner is recorded. The rocks may still hold the shape of hammers and the smell of rain on broken granite. A man could have stood at the edge, listened for a loose shard, and carried one home to mark a threshold. The quarry does not need a name or a year to be real; it is a hole made by human hands, waiting for someone to remember the weight of what was removed.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill Pavement Works, Quarry as Quarry (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
