What is recorded here

Castle Fraser Policies, Alton Brae holds clearance cairns and an unassigned structure, marking a landscape where people cleared stone and shaped the land before written dates. The policies suggest a managed estate edge, perhaps walked by keepers, hunters, or families who knew which paths avoided difficulty. Alton Brae still carries that human pressure, even when the exact purpose has faded from memory.
