What is recorded here
Castlelaw is a Scottish Borders findspot where a flint knife emerged beside a fort now shadowed by military ranges. The knife is not dated in the public record, but its sharp edge still suggests a hand that cut, hunted or marked ownership. It is not a display cabinet; it is a buried edge waiting for someone careful enough to listen.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlelaw as Findspot (period Unassigned), Knife (flint)(period Unassigned). 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.
