Late prehistoric enclosed settlement on Castle Hill, 550m north of Broadstone Lodge

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Castle Hill rises fifty-five metres above the valley floor, its summit marked by a late prehistoric enclosure that has watched Kirklees since before records began. The earthworks still trace the shape of human hands, though no wall or gate remains visible. Broadstone Lodge sits five hundred metres south, a modern anchor for an older place. What lived inside the circle is lost, but the circle itself refuses to be forgotten.
The National Heritage List for England records Late prehistoric enclosed settlement on Castle Hill, 550m north of Broadstone Lodge 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.
