Cuthbert's Folly

Pit Alignment (prehistoric)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Cuthbert's Folly as Pit Alignment (prehistoric). 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.
Cuthbert's Folly is associated with Saint Cuthbert, a venerated 7th-century Northumbrian monk and bishop, known for his healing miracles and later veneration in Scotland and northern England. Though the site is recorded as a prehistoric pit alignment, local tradition may have later linked it to saintly pilgrimage or healing practices.
