What is recorded here
Castle Coeffin holds two lives: a prehistoric fort and post-medieval cultivation remains. The hill may have served as refuge, watchpoint or ritual ground before fields cut into it later. Both layers still belong to the same place, even when their purposes no longer appear obvious.
