Miscellaneous
| This is an attempt to tie up all the references to the Castleton sites. It includes the Castleton series number where one exists. These were used by R W B Morris in The Prehistoric Rock Art of Southern Scotland [PRASS]. They also appear as alternative names in Canmore but, where they are not consistent with PRASS, I've used the PRASS number to help cross-referencing that publication. Castleton 7 is not in PRASS but it is referred to by this name in Canmore. Morris also used a county or regional numbering series (like that used for chambered cairns). This does not seem to have caught on but is included here also, where appropriate. CEN = Central region. The 10 figure grid references are from my GPS in the cases where I have found the site. The other references are from Canmore. For each site, I have included the "best" motif; full details are in Canmore. Sites NW of the farmhouse Castleton 4 [CEN 4]; NS88NE 11; NS 8552 8816; cup and four rings. Castleton 5 [CEN 5]; NS88NE 14; NS 8554 8811; cup and five rings. Castleton 7; NS88NE 30; NS 85523 88185 (for 7a); cup and nine rings. Sites NE of the farmhouse Castleton 1 [CEN 1]; NS88NE 3 & 52; NS 8587 8840 & NS 8589 8839; cup and five rings. Castleton 2 [CEN 2]; NS88NE 9 & 53; NS 85818 88303; cup and one ring. Castleton 6 [CEN 6]; NS88NE 12; NS 8598 8825; cup and one ring. Sites S and SE of the farmhouse Castleton 3 [CEN 3]; NS88NE 10; NS 85710 87969; cup and five rings. NS88NE 15 & 31; NS 857 878; cup and three rings. NS88NE 25; NS 8615 8771; cup and one ring. NS88NE 26; NS 8602 8771; cup and four rings. |
