Castle Hill

Motte (medieval)

What is recorded here

Castle Hill is a medieval motte in Angus, Scotland. It is a man-made hill built to hold a fortress, not a natural rise. The earth may have shaken during construction, but people repeated the work until the hill stood ready for a castle.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill as Motte (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.

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