What is recorded here
Castlehill in Aberdeenshire is a stone axehead, still unassigned to any period, waiting for a hand to hold it and a story to form around that weight. It is the kind of small thing that changes a whole region because it proves people stood there, chopped, and left behind a edge they never expected to survive. The hill keeps its distance, but the axehead remembers every wrist that ever swung it.
