What is recorded here
Maiden Castle in Fife keeps the shape of a fortress though no castle wall or chamber remains for a person to touch. The land may have held a guard post, a boundary marker or a place of fear, but the name does more work than the evidence. People still point at the castle because a castle sounds like a castle, even when the ground offers no stone to prove the claim.
Maiden Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Fife. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
