What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies, Cowie Hill may hide a clay pit beneath its grass, though no date or owner is certain. The land could have given up dark earth for roofs, roads or jars while people forgot the hole entirely. If so, the policies are not empty decoration but a shallow wound that closed, leaving only a slight dip the rain still fills.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Drum Castle Policies, Cowie Hill as Clay Pit (period Unassigned)(possible). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
