What is recorded here
Castle Hill, Cranborne, Dorset is a castle, fort or tower in Dorset, England. Perhaps a wooden tower rose above the hill, watching carts and herds pass below. Maybe soldiers stood at its edge while ordinary people lived and worked in the valley. Imagine the hill still holding the shape of that watch, even if every beam has rotted to soil.
