What is recorded here

Bincknoll Castle is a fortified enclosure covering 3.5 acres on a north-facing ridge in Wiltshire, where the oldest road in the parish still runs along Hackpen Hill. The ridge holds barrows, a rectangular earthwork and a Romano-British burial site, while the land around it has been farmed, road-built and redrawn into new parishes for centuries. People have lived beside this place since before records began, and the castle remains as the oldest visible mark of that continuity.
Bincknoll Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Wiltshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
