The article Theolonius put a link to mentions testing the Darly Dale sedimentary rock (which I believe castle Hill is made of). Some thinking in the article is that the vitrification wasn't to do with the rock itself, but more to do with the 'mortar' used between stones becoming vitrified. Not sure I was aware of any evidence of the stones being mortared into place, but you never now.

Interesting stuff, I've always thought any stone walls were drystone construction but not based on any particular knowledge just a (probably incorrect) assumption.
