Castle Crag was the site of a small iron-age hill fort perched on the sandstone outcrop. Traces of its defensive ditch and earthen bank have long been lost under the heather and bracken. It's a seemingly forgotten viewpoint, its narrow path betraying that most people only head for its neighbour Raven Crag. It has wonderful views over to High Seat.
