What is recorded here

Castlehill is a medieval mount and coin site in Birnie, Moray, where a new house cut through topsoil but never touched the buried life of the hill. The name suggests a small fortress, a boundary marker, or a place where valuable coins once changed hands. Nothing visible remains to argue the case, which is why the hill keeps its secret.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill as Coin(s) (medieval), Mount (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
