What is recorded here

Castle Stuart stands in Highland, Scotland, where a medieval castle built about 1625 by the Earl of Moray still occupies the site of an older Hallhill Castle. The date 1625 appears in stones set high in the front and rear walls, while the open work on the south-west staircase and some battlements belong to later alteration. Beneath the living mansion, the land holds bronze Age pits and rim sherds, prehistoric roundhouses, an Iron Age enamel finger ring and unassigned flint, suggesting that people have shaped this place long before the castle gave it its name.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Stuart as Pit(s) (bronze Age), Roundhouse(s) (prehistoric), Finger Ring (enamel)(iron Age), Rim Sherd(s) (bronze Age), Unidentified Flint(s) (period Unassigned). 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.
