What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Compass Hill as Earthwork (prehistoric) - (early Medieval)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Compass Hill is a likely early-medieval fairy fort (ringfort/rath), identified as an earthwork in Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment. Local folklore, though sparse, may associate such sites with supernatural or otherworldly beings, as is common with fairy forts in Scottish and Irish tradition.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
