What is recorded here

Pitcaple Castle Policies holds medieval and post-medieval rig and furrow marks in Aberdeenshire. Those ridges suggest people worked the soil there for generations, shaping land into repeating lines before modern fields arrived. The castle name hints a residence or stronghold once watched the same ground, though no standing wall is written in the facts.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcaple Castle Policies as Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Pitcaple Castle Policies are associated with the medieval and post-medieval estate of Pitcaple Castle, which was held by the Keith family, Earls Marischal of Scotland, from the 14th century onwards. The policies are historically significant as they reflect the agricultural and estate management practices of a powerful noble family in northeast Scotland.
