Castle Haven

Long Cist(s) (early Medieval)(possible)

What is recorded here

Castle Haven is a possible early Medieval long cist in Fife, Scotland, marked only by a point accurate to the nearest ten metres. The name suggests a castle, but the evidence points to a narrow burial chamber where people may have laid their dead beneath open sky. Haven sounds like refuge, yet the site preserves loss rather than shelter.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Haven as Long Cist(s) (early Medieval)(possible). 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.
