Creag a’ Chaisteil

Cup Marked Stone

wideford Jul 22, 2004

Creag A’ Chaisteal RCAHMS NMRS no. NM34NE 12 at NM35874957 which says that the marks on all four boulders are natural.
The fort NM34NE 1 of the same name at NM35864959 probably started off as a promontory fort because the wall was older than the 2 phases of the SW entrance (this wall is now gone), the SE entrance was paved.. No longer there is a hut circle on the rocky boss – the excavators in 1964 thought there could be more of these but didn’t find any.
