What is recorded here
Castleton holds St Martin's Church and a churchyard where medieval stone still stands beside a 19th Century rebuild. The burial ground has no assigned period, leaving its dead without a date and its memories without a boundary. That absence does not diminish the place; it refuses to be completed.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castleton, St Martin's Church and Churchyard as Burial Ground (period Unassigned), Church (medieval), Church (19th Century). 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.
