What is recorded here

Maiden Castle in Fife, Scotland, is a stone implement, not a castle at all. The name may be a mistake born from distance or assumption. What is certain is that the thing is stone, that it is in Fife, and that it is recorded. The castle part is the imagination speaking, not the evidence.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Maiden Castle as Lithic Implement(s) (stone)(period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. 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.
