What is recorded here

Barrow Hill is a motte castle 250m south of Barrow Farm in East Hertfordshire, England. The land remains a scheduled monument, though the earth has forgotten the names of the people who first shaped it. That much is clear from the official record. What is missing is the life that moved the soil, the reason they built upward, and the moment the hill stopped being a castle and became a hill again.

The National Heritage List for England records Barrow Hill: a motte castle 250m south of Barrow Farm as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
