What is recorded here

Castle mound at Fitzharris is a scheduled monument in the Vale of White Horse, marked only as a mound on the open land. It may have been a fortress, a boundary marker or a burial place for people whose names never reached us. The earth still holds that forgotten shape, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that built it.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle mound at Fitzharris 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, likely by a local Norman lord, the castle mound at Fitzharris is remembered as an example of a motte-and-bailey structure, reflecting early medieval military architecture in the region.
