Castlehill House

Mound (period Unassigned), Quarry (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castlehill House stands in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, where a mound and quarry mark the earth beneath a building first documented as a tower house between 1560 and 1900. The main structure may date to the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, while two rear wings arrived later, suggesting the house grew rather than appeared whole. Local tradition claims an ancient keep once occupied the site, though no trace of that earlier fortress remains visible today. The place carries both recorded age and unproven depth, inviting wonder about what hands shaped the mound before the house rose above it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill House as Mound (period Unassigned), Quarry (period Unassigned). 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.
