What is recorded here

Kinclaven Castle is a prehistoric underground passage and unknown cropmark in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The ground may still hold a buried chamber or forgotten path, while the castle name suggests a later building that disappeared entirely. Anyone standing nearby walks above layers of human life, not a single dated event.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kinclaven Castle as Cropmark(s) (period Unknown), Man-made underground passage (prehistoric). 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.

Kinclaven Castle was built by the Comyn family in the 13th century and later held by the Earls of Buchan. It is remembered for its strategic importance in medieval Scottish warfare and its association with key historical events, including the Wars of Scottish Independence.
