Castlehill Farm

Cist(s) (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castlehill Farm in Aberdeenshire holds short Bronze Age cists, yet the people working the land in 1964 did not know they were there. W.D. Simpson wrote about them in 1936, suggesting the stones had already slipped beneath everyday sight. The farm may have trod across dead chambers for generations, turning ancient burial into ordinary ground under boot and plow.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill Farm as Cist(s) (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
