What is recorded here

Old Castleton is a medieval road in the Scottish Borders, preserved only as a line on a modern map. It may have carried carts, pilgrims or armies across rough ground before people stopped laying stone or remembering the route. Forgetting is not the same as erasure because the road still exists under grass, traffic or silence.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Old Castleton as Road (medieval). 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.

Old Castleton is a medieval road associated with the historic landscape of the Scottish borders, likely used for communication and trade between settlements during the Middle Ages.
