What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Dumfries and Galloway is a quarry site marked by medieval rig and furrow, where stone extraction scarred the hillside after centuries of strip farming. The old field lines still break the slope like a woodgrain pattern, suggesting that people worked this land long before the quarry trucks arrived. The hill may have given up its depth for building stone elsewhere, while the furrows kept the shape of earlier hands.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Hill as Quarry(s) (period Unassigned), Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post 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.
