Slight univallate hillfort on Castle Crag

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Castle Crag in Cumberland still holds a slight univallate hillfort, a low ridge of earth and stone that once watched the valley below. The shape is small enough to miss unless the wind strips the grass back, yet it remains a scheduled monument because human hands built it and time has not erased it. Listing does not invite entry, so the crag keeps its distance. Approach only where the land is open, and leave the ridge untouched.
The National Heritage List for England records Slight univallate hillfort on Castle Crag 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
