What is recorded here
Castletown, Smiddyquoy may have been an anti aircraft battery during the twentieth century, though that identity still carries a question mark. The site sits in Highland, Scotland, where concrete and memory both weather under open sky. If guns once pointed upward there, they watched for dangers that never landed or never came at all.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castletown, Smiddyquoy as Anti Aircraft Battery (20th Century)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
