What is recorded here

Castle mound in Dorset is a scheduled monument, meaning the state recognises the hill as worth protecting rather than claiming the hill is a castle or inviting everyone to climb it. The name suggests a fortress, yet no tower, gate or owner appears in the fact supplied. That gap is not a mistake; it is the shape of the place. A mound is a castle only in the memory of the people who named it, and memory is the oldest architecture there is.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle mound (or Castle Hill) 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.
