What is recorded here
Mosscastle Hill in South Lanarkshire holds an enclosure and sheepfolds, though no date or owner is recorded. The hill may have fed a valley family for centuries before forgetting their name. Stone walls still trap warmth on winter afternoons, proving the hand that built them understood hunger and patience.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Mosscastle Hill as Enclosure (period Unassigned), Sheepfold(s) (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.
