What is recorded here

Blackcastle Hill is an Iron Age fort above Innerwick in East Lothian, Scotland. Its one surviving earth bank still outlines a place where people watched the land, kept fire, and faced what came in the dark. Much of its life has disappeared, but the hill keeps the shape of that lost alertness.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Blackcastle Hill as Fort (prehistoric), Settlement (prehistoric). 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.

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