What is recorded here

Castle Hill rises in Kimbolton Park as a motte castle, marked as a scheduled monument in Huntingdonshire. The earthwork still carries the shape of a defensible home, though no named builder or date remains attached to it. Listing protects the hill but does not guarantee entry, leaving the mound closed to casual climbing. It is a rare case where legal care and physical exclusion meet on the same grass.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle in Kimbolton Park, known as Castle 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.

Built in the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066, Castle Hill served as a strategic defensive and administrative site. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the medieval landscape and military architecture of the period.
