What is recorded here
Ogscastle marks a set of unassigned pits in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The exact purpose and date remain unknown, but the holes suggest people worked the land hard enough to leave scars behind. Perhaps they dug for clay, coal or water, or simply made room for life. The ground keeps that much of the truth buried.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ogscastle as Pit(s) (period Unassigned). 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
