What is recorded here

Cnoc Tigh, 'castle Corbet' in Highland, Scotland, holds a prehistoric cist and cinerary urn, marking it as an ancient burial place rather than a castle at all. The name deceives, for no Corbet castle stands there, only dead men and the jars that kept their ashes. Perhaps a family lived nearby and called the hill their castle because death made it theirs, or perhaps a traveler mistook a mound for a keep and the error became truth. Either way, the hill remembers bones before it remembers stories.
