What is recorded here

Mccole's Castle is a neolithic chambered cairn in the Highland, Scotland. It is not a medieval castle at all, though the name suggests one. Stones and soil may still mark the chamber where people placed the dead or kept what they valued before written history. The castle part is a later label, but the chamber part remains the older truth.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Mccole's Castle as Chambered Cairn (neolithic). 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.
