What is recorded here

Castle Hill in Shropshire still carries the buried shape of a motte and bailey castle, joined by a park pale, fishpond and formal garden. The earth may have trembled under heavy boots, smelled of pond water and guarded a household that no longer answers. What is certain is that the land kept the outline of power instead of erasing it.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle on Castle Hill, and the associated remains of a park pale, a fishpond and a formal garden 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.
