What is recorded here
Castle Fraser Policies holds medieval rig and furrow marks beside post-medieval cisterns, proving that people farmed and stored water around the castle for centuries. The cisterns may have served castle kitchens, garden beds or nearby households, though no surviving account names the hands that dug them. Those missing names are not absent; they are buried beneath the policies, waiting for patience and rain to bring them back.
