What is recorded here

Croglam Castle is a defended Iron Age hillfort in Westmorland, its banks and ditches still marking the boundary of a community that lived before Roman roads reached the north. The earthworks enclose a space where people may have worshipped as much as they farmed, shaping the hill into a statement of identity and resistance. To walk its rim is to touch the edge of a world that measured strength in soil and memory rather than stone.
Croglam Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Westmorland and Furness. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
