What is recorded here

Castlehill marks a field boundary in Falkirk, Scotland, where stone or earth still divides ownership though no human hand has set it in centuries. The name suggests a hill once crowned by a castle, yet only the boundary remains visible, preserving the shape of a lost estate rather than the estate itself. Walkers may pass the point without knowing they are measuring the edge of a forgotten domain, while the land keeps its own record of who controlled which acre when memory failed.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill as Field Boundary(s) (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.

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