What is recorded here
Mere 300 feet north of the cathedral stands Touthill, the buried skeleton of Peterborough's first castle. A bailey once held life and labour there before the stone rose above it, but the ground has swallowed the boundaries and kept the shape. The hill still bumps the surface like a forgotten muscle, waiting for someone to read what the dirt forgot.
The National Heritage List for England records Touthill and site of castle bailey 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.
