What is recorded here

Castle Hill motte and ditch system, Oldcastle is a scheduled monument in Cheshire West and Chester, England. The earthworks stand as a formal record of human presence, though the listed boundary does not guarantee entry. A person may imagine a keeper walking the ridge at dawn, reading the shape of the land before writing it down. The hill keeps that much of the world intact.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hill motte and ditch system, Oldcastle 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.

Built in the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066, Castle Hill motte and ditch system is important as a well-preserved example of early medieval military architecture in England.
