What is recorded here
Castle Hills holds a medieval motte and bailey beside 20th century airfield defences, proving the land has long served warning and defence. Located 700m north east of Oran House in North Yorkshire, it stands as a scheduled monument rather than an obvious invitation to wander. The earthworks and military remains suggest people repeatedly shaped the hills to watch, resist or escape, leaving behind a place where exposure and danger feel native.
The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hills medieval motte and bailey castle, and 20th century airfield defences, 700m north east of Oran House 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.
