Castle, Rendall

Cist (period Unassigned), Mound (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castle, Rendall is a cist and mound in Orkney Islands, Scotland, where human hands shaped stone and soil before written memory. The chamber may have held a body, a treasure, or a child’s marble, but the mound still stands as a marker of that forgotten choice. Rendall gives the site its name, while Orkney provides the sea-worn stage where such small acts of permanence still resist time.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle, Rendall as Cist (period Unassigned), Mound (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.
