Red Castle

Field System (medieval) - (post Medieval), Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval)

What is recorded here

Red Castle in Angus is a medieval field system where rigid furrows still cut the earth like forgotten writing. The name suggests a lost structure, yet the ground preserves only the shape of repeated labour and seasonal choice. Perhaps a castle stood nearby, casting its shadow across ordinary farms until the stones departed and the fields kept the memory instead.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Red Castle as Field System (medieval) - (post Medieval), Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
