What is recorded here
Castleton in Argyll and Bute holds an early Medieval cross incised stone and a possible long cist, marking a place where people shaped stone before written memory. The chamber may have stored a body or kept a threshold between lives, while the cross still points toward something seen clearly enough to cut.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castleton as Cross Incised Stone (early Medieval), Long Cist (early Medieval)(possible). 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.
