What is recorded here
Castlehill in Aberdeenshire may be a medieval motte, an unassigned enclosure or scattered pits, its identity still entangled in earth rather than fact. The hill could have risen as a fortress, a boundary marker or a forgotten domestic site, shaping local life through exclusion, observation or daily labour. Its uncertainty is not a flaw but an invitation to imagine how people used height, distance and enclosure before written memory arrived.
