What is recorded here

Toot Hill rises in East Lindsey as a castle marker from the eleventh or twelfth century, though no wall or room remains visible to test that claim. The name itself sounds like a shout thrown upward, as if someone stood on the hill and called across water or fields until the air answered back. A castle needs people, and people need reasons to climb, defend, watch or be remembered. The hill keeps that much without explaining itself.

Toot Hill is shown as a castle on the public map of East Lindsey. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Toot Hill Castle was built in the 13th century, likely by the de Clinton family, who were prominent in the region during the medieval period. It is remembered as a strategic defensive site and as an example of early motte-and-bailey castle architecture in Lincolnshire.
