Pitcastle Burn

Hut Circle(s) (prehistoric)

What is recorded here

Pitcastle Burn marks prehistoric hut circles in Perth and Kinross, where people built small shelters beside moving water. They likely watched the burn cut through soil, provided drink for animals, and carried away waste from the settlement. The circles still break the grass like abandoned coins, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that shaped them.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcastle Burn as Hut Circle(s) (prehistoric). 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.
