What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Mowsbury Hill: slight univallate hillfort and medieval moated site 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.
Mowsbury Hill is a slight univallate hillfort with a medieval moated site, likely dating to the early medieval period, though its original construction may be earlier Iron Age. It is associated with local folklore of fairy hauntings common to such earthworks in rural England.
