What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Dumfries and Galloway may be a post-Medieval head dyke, though no surviving structure or clear function is recorded. That uncertainty is not a defect; it is the shape of the place. A hill, a ridge, a buried boundary or a forgotten road could all wear the same name. What is certain is that the land still keeps the event alive: people came, changed something, left the name behind.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill as Head Dyke (post Medieval)(possible). 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.
