What is recorded here

Castle Howe stands in Westmorland and Furness as a scheduled monument, preserving the earthwork memory of a motte and bailey castle. The mound and ditch still mark the place where power was displayed and defended. Whether people climbed the mound, watched the valley or lived inside the wooden walls, the earth kept the shape of that activity long after timber rotted.
