There is no trace of a motte at this location. Castlehill Farm probably takes its name from a large natural hillock at the confluence of the Kearn Burn and Bogie Water about 350m N of the steading (NJ52NW 69). Aerial photography has revealed the cropmarks of a possible enclosure (NJ52NW 41) on the hillock.
