What is recorded here
Castlehill is a farm in Aberdeenshire where a natural hillock may have worn the shape of a medieval fortress, though no true motte has been found there. Cropmarks still trace a possible enclosure on its slope, hinting that people once drew a boundary around that rise before the name itself was born. The land may have kept a castle in its voice long after the castle disappeared from its soil.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill as Farm (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
