What is recorded here

Holwell Castle Motte and Bailey stands in North Devon, England, where a raised earthwork and surrounding ditch once shaped a small defensive life. The grass may hide the boundary, but the ground still carries the weight of that earlier choice. A person walking past at dusk might feel the shape before understanding it, remembering that castles were not only stone towers but also soil piled against danger.

Holwell Castle Motte and Bailey is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of North Devon. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
