What is recorded here

Money Hill rises in North Yorkshire as a scheduled monument, marking a vanished castle where earth and power once collided. The hill itself is the remaining fact: a shape made by human hands, now reserved from ordinary development. Whether knights rode its slopes or farmers walked past it, the land still carries the weight of that choice.

The National Heritage List for England records Money Hill motte and bailey castle 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 during the late 11th or early 12th century, Money Hill motte and bailey castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the widespread use of motte and bailey castles in the medieval landscape of England.
