Cairnfield (period Unassigned), Enclosure(s) (period Unassigned), Hut Circle(s) (prehistoric)

What is recorded here

Pitcastle Burn holds a prehistoric hut circle beside unassigned cairns and enclosures, marking one of the oldest repeated human claims in Perth and Kinross. People may have built there to shelter, bury, exclude or remember before written history arrived. The land still keeps that much older rhythm beneath its burn and fields.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Pitcastle Burn as Cairnfield (period Unassigned), Enclosure(s) (period Unassigned), Hut Circle(s) (prehistoric). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. 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.
