What is recorded here

Whitcastle Sike is an unassigned settlement in the Scottish Borders, recorded only as a point on the national register. The name suggests a sharp water cut near a white fort, yet no date or boundary survives to confirm the shape of that life. People may have followed the sike for drink, trade or escape, leaving behind a name instead of a wall. The absence does not empty the place; it holds every forgotten arrangement waiting to be imagined.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Whitcastle Sike as Settlement (period Unassigned). 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.
