What is recorded here
Newington Bagpath Castle Mound is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle site, likely dating to the 12th or 13th century, built as a defensive structure during the post-Conquest period. Its strategic location suggests it was part of the wider network of Norman strongholds in the Cotswolds, reflecting the region's military and administrative development.
