What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dun Creich as Castle (medieval), Fort (prehistoric), Vitrified Stone (prehistoric). 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.
Dun Creich is a prehistoric vitrified fort located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and was likely occupied during the Iron Age. It is significant for its rare vitrified remains, where stones were heated to such high temperatures that they fused, a defensive feature that highlights advanced engineering and warfare practices of the time.

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