What is recorded here
Castlehill is a farmstead in Aberdeenshire whose name may preserve a lost medieval castle, though a 2000 visit found no trace of a motte and aerial photography shows only cropmarks of a possible enclosure on a natural hillock. The hill may have worn the castle's shape until farming smoothed it into ordinary ground.
