What is recorded here
Castle Hill earthwork is a roughly square bank and ditch on the Isle of Wight, likely an Iron Age defended settlement overlooking the sea and downs. It measures about sixty by fifty-five metres, with a broad outer bank and inner ditch forming a compact refuge above the coastal plain. The clear-felled hilltop now exposes the earthwork instead of hiding it beneath trees, making the ancient shape easier to see and remember.
The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hill earthwork 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
