Castleton of Eassie NO 333 466 NO34NW 5
The impressive earthworks within which the farmhouse of Castleton of Eassie stands are probably the remains of a medieval castle. A rectangular mound, its summit measuring 88m from NE to SW by 67m transversely, is flanked on the NE and SE by a ditch up to
15m broad and 5m deep with an internal bank on the NE, whilst on the NW and SW the sides of the mound have been scarped and on the NW additional protection is afforded by a burn; a causeway across the ditch on the SE may be original.
