What is recorded here
Castle Hill in Turriff, Aberdeenshire, still stands as a buried anchor of the town, though no class or date has been forced upon it. The earth may hide a fortress, a boundary marker or a forgotten shrine, but human hands certainly shaped the hill before memory faded. That much is certain even when the name and purpose are lost.
