What is recorded here
Castleside Hill carries medieval rig and furrow marks still visible in the Borders landscape. Those ridges suggest people farmed the slope before modern fields erased the boundary. The hill may have fed a nearby settlement or sustained a family through harsh winters. Its buried purpose remains uncertain, but the soil still holds the shape of hands that worked it centuries ago.
