What is recorded here

Castle Tower stands as a motte and bailey castle 100m north of Hill House, a scheduled monument in Buckinghamshire. Its earthen mound and timber defenses suggest a volatile borderland where local power clashed openly. The site remains legally protected, excluding casual entry despite its modest distance from a familiar house.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Tower: a motte and bailey castle 100m north of Hill House 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 century, this motte and bailey castle was likely constructed by a local Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of the strategic settlement patterns in post-Conquest England.
