Newington Bagpath Castle Mound (motte) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mound and ditch still mark the bagpath, though the castle that gave the path its name has vanished. The earth remembers the shape of a lost building, lifting a small hill where ordinary ground should be flat. People may have climbed it, watched the valley or forgotten it entirely, but the mound still points back to the place they occupied.

Newington Bagpath Castle Mound (motte) is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Cotswold. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

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.
