Castlehill to Hillhead Connection Road

Roman Road (roman)(possible)

What is recorded here

Castlehill to Hillhead Connection Road may have been a Roman through-route, drawing carts and boots across South Lanarkshire before modern lanes took over. If so, it was not a marginal track but a line of demand, joining places that needed movement and forcing people to carry goods, messages or themselves through living land. The road no longer needs proof of grandeur; it only needs to be walked. Underfoot, it may still align the body toward distance, while above it the fields keep their ordinary patience.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castlehill to Hillhead Connection Road as Roman Road (roman)(possible). 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.
