What is recorded here

Knock Old Castle is an unclassified earthwork in North Ayrshire, Scotland, where buried walls and forgotten chambers still wait beneath the grass. The land may have served as a fortress, a refuge or a boundary marker for people whose names never reached modern memory. Its exact purpose remains unknown, but the shape of the ground suggests human hands shaped it for defense or display.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Knock Old Castle as Earthwork (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.
