What is recorded here

Castlehill holds fragments rather than a whole building: a candlestick, coins and a small figurine, with a church only possible behind them. The hilltop may have been busy enough to drop or bury such things, yet none of the fragments is dated or named. The place resists a finished story, keeping its shape in the gap between what is missing and what still appears.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Castlehill as Church (medieval)(possible), Candlestick (period Unknown), Coin(s) (period Unknown), Figurine (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. 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.
