What is recorded here

No visible trace remains at The Castles, Fort. The name suggests a castle, but the fact is a fort, and the absence of a photograph or description leaves the shape unknown. A fort needs a ridge, a ditch or a defended line, yet none of those details has survived into this record. The place may still hold a buried edge, a broken bank or a narrow neck where people once watched the land.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records The Castles, Fort as Fort (prehistoric). 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
