What is recorded here

Castlelaw Hill holds medieval rig and furrow marks still visible beneath the training area, proving that soldiers and farmers both shaped the same soil across centuries. The hill is not a forgotten ruin but a layered workspace where ancient fields, a fort and modern ranges overlap. People may have walked those ridges for food, defence or drill, while others flew overhead or fired across the grass. What is certain is that the land kept every use instead of erasing them.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlelaw Hill as Rig and Furrow (medieval) - (post Medieval). 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.
