What is recorded here
Mistaken castle names still appear on modern maps, but the hillfort identity and protected status are clear. The land belongs to memory now, and memory does not need permission to enter. What the hill kept, it still keeps.
The National Heritage List for England records Prestonbury Castle (hillfort) 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.
Prestonbury Castle is a Neolithic and Bronze Age hillfort, likely built between 2500 BC and 800 BC, and is remembered as an important example of early defensive and communal earthworks in the British Isles.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
