What is recorded here

Castlehill in Inverness may be a medieval motte, though no clear structure survives to confirm the claim. The hill stands beside the river, waiting for someone to remember why it was shaped.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inverness, Castlehill as Motte (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.

Inverness Castle, located on Castlehill, was originally built by the MacKintosh clan in the 11th century and later held by the Scottish crown. It is historically significant as a key stronghold in the defense of northern Scotland and as a symbol of royal authority in the region.
