What is recorded here

Castle Wood is an unclassified earthwork in Dumfries and Galloway, recorded only as a site with no period assigned. Its boundary remains unclear because the official point is accurate to the nearest hundred metres, not a surveyed line. That distance is large enough to swallow a field, a road or a village lane. The wood may hide a castle, a boundary marker or a forgotten military track.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Wood as Earthwork (period Unassigned), Site (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.
