What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Urquhart Castle as Flat Axehead(s) (bronze)(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.
Urquhart Castle, located on the shores of Loch Ness, was originally built by the MacKintosh clan in the 13th century and later held by the Clan Munro. It is important due to its strategic location and its long history of involvement in Scottish clan conflicts and border wars.
