Hillfort and lynchets on Castle Hill

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Swindon carries a hillfort and lynchets so old they predate written memory. Steep terrain, repeated rain and human choice may have shaped the same slope more than once. The hill is not a display tray; it is a lived edge where people, animals and weather kept negotiating the shape of the land.
The National Heritage List for England records Hillfort and lynchets on 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
