What is recorded here

Castlecreavie is a stone axehead in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Its age is unassigned, but its function is clear. It cut through wood, rope or living flesh. The hand that wielded it is gone, yet the stone still carries the shape of that lost purpose.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlecreavie as Axehead (stone)(period Unassigned). 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.

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