What is recorded here

Castlehill Tower is a ruined oblong tower house from the end of the 15th century that guarded a ford over the Manor Water. The Lowis of Manor family built it, and it passed through several owners before William Tweedie of Quarter abandoned it in 1840. Only parts of the ground and first floors remain on the rocky knoll, but the thick basement walls and latrine chutes still mark where people lived, climbed stairs and looked down at the water.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill as Findspot (20th Century), Polished Axehead (stone)(neolithic). 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.
