Castle Larches

Barrow (prehistoric)(possible)

What is recorded here

Castle Larches is a possible prehistoric barrow in Fife, Scotland, marked on the official map with a point accurate to the nearest metre. The distinction between a buried chamber and a natural mound still hovers around it, inviting wonder rather than certainty. Whether it hides a dead king or merely holds ancient soil, the exact location is known while the meaning remains unfinished.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Larches as Barrow (prehistoric)(possible). 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.
