What is recorded here

Castledownie is a promontory fort on a knife-edged ridge in Ross and Cromarty, where natural slopes and two surviving ramparts enclose a small rectangular area. Trees and bracken have swallowed much of the site, but the ground still holds the shape of a place built to be seen and defended. It may have served as a dun or early stronghold, and the gap in the rampart may have been the entrance used by the people who lived there.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castledownie as Promontory Fort (period Unknown). 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.
