Castlehaven

Sword (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castlehaven is a vanished promontory fort in Highland, Scotland, where only two sandstone blocks and faint ditch lines remain beneath grass and whins. It may have stood from the Early Bronze Age through the Pictish period, defending a narrow neck of land with ditches and a rampart. The sea and time erased most of it, leaving behind a name and a shape that still resist forgetting.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehaven as Sword (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.
