What is recorded here

Castleton Muir is a post Medieval stock enclosure in the Scottish Borders, where fencing transformed open land into managed pasture. The precise boundary suggests humans shaped the landscape deliberately, likely herding animals through seasons rather than wandering freely. That simple act of exclusion and inclusion reveals how much of Scotland's rural character depends on invisible lines drawn across living ground.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castleton Muir as Stock Enclosure (post Medieval). 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.
