What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hill ringwork 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 12th century, likely by a local Norman lord, Castle Hill ringwork is important as a rare example of a simple defensive earthwork that illustrates early medieval military architecture and land control in rural areas.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
