Castlehill

Axehead (stone)(period Unassigned)

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.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill as Axehead (stone)(period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
