What is recorded here
Castlelaw is a plantation bank in the Scottish Borders where military ranges still scar the land above ancient fortifications. The place holds a tangled history of human occupation, from old settlement platforms to modern firing zones, all layered beneath grass and memory. It is not a display for tourists but a working landscape where the past remains buried under the noise of living use.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlelaw as Plantation Bank (period Unassigned). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
