What is recorded here

Castle Steads slight univallate hillfort stands in North Yorkshire, England, recorded as a scheduled monument. Its univallate form suggests a single defensive bank encircling a small interior, perhaps separating insiders from outsiders during uncertain seasons. Listing protects the earthworks but does not guarantee entry, so the hill keeps its distance even when curiosity climbs toward it.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Steads slight univallate hillfort 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.
