What is recorded here
Drum Castle Policies and Drum Hill Wood served as a gravel pit from the 19th into the 20th century, shaping the local landscape through relentless extraction. The land likely bears the quiet scars of that labour, hiding carts, men and machinery beneath its current surface. What remains is a place where human ambition dug deep before disappearing into memory.
