What is recorded here

Todcastles is a prehistoric burnt mound in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. The site still holds the dark edge of heat and transformation, even though the hands that built it have vanished. It is not a display or a museum; it is a place where human urgency once touched the earth directly.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Todcastles as Burnt Mound (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
