What is recorded here

Castle Hills ringwork and bailey is a medieval fortress mound in South Kesteven, England, where buried timber and leather still wait beneath the wet turf. The earth rises two and a half metres above a broad ditch, marking the place where Guy de Craon held land in 1086 and the Bussey family lived centuries later. Stones poke through the grass like broken teeth, proving that human hands shaped the slope long before modern wheels crushed the grass.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Hills ringwork and bailey 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 or 13th century, Castle Hills ringwork and bailey was likely constructed by a local lord or military force for defensive purposes during the medieval period. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the strategic and military landscape of the time.
