What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Forteviot as Palisaded Enclosure (neolithic). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Forteviot is a Neolithic palisaded enclosure located in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, and is associated with the early ceremonial and funerary complex of the Clava cairns type. While primarily a prehistoric site, it later became linked with early medieval royal history as the supposed cradle of the Pictish kingdom of Fortriu, and local tradition connects it with fairy lore and otherworldly associations common in Scottish folklore.
