What is recorded here

Haw Hill in Northumberland still carries a motte and bailey castle, marked as a scheduled monument though no visible tower or gate remains. The land may have hidden a wooden hall, a defending bank and a household that turned the hill into a small centre of power. Listing protects the memory of that lost building, but it does not promise entry or reveal whether the hill still holds a chamber, a cellar or a room waiting to be remembered.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle on Haw 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.
