What is recorded here

Castle Hill Motte stands in Stratford-on-Avon as a scheduled monument, marked only by a point on the official list rather than a clear boundary. The hill may have worn human shapes before memory faded, yet no exact date or builder remains visible. It keeps its distance, resisting easy description and inviting imagination to fill the gap.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hill Motte 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 is important as a surviving example of early medieval military architecture and the expansion of Norman control in England.
