What is recorded here

Castle Hill motte is an archaeological place in Lancaster, England, where a mound still marks the hill beneath the Georgian houses. It may have begun as a defensive ridge or a boundary marker, shaping the town before stone walls rose around it. The hill does not need a grand palace to matter because it is the oldest visible participant in the local story, waiting under pavement and garden soil for someone to remember why the ground rises there.

Castle Hill motte is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Lancaster. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
