OS 6" map (NG)
'About 3 miles from Dirleton the OM shows a large motte called Castle Hill, which may possibly be the original castle of the De Vaux.'
(See NT58SW 1 - Dirleton Castle).
E Armitage 1912
'On the East Links, North Berwick, is Castle Hill, a natural mound about 40 feet in height. The summit is roughly pearshaped and measures in diameter 36 by 30 yards. To the south is a bank to which the mound is attached by a narrow neck. There is no trace of a ditch at base or across the neck. There are mounds and traces of stonework on the summit probably relics of an early stone castle.'
