What is recorded here

Little Camp Hill in the Forest of Dean still holds the buried bones of a tower keep castle, marked only as a scheduled monument rather than a finished picture. The earth may hide chambers, stairs or chambers where people once watched the valley, yet no clear chamber or chamber is certain. The hill keeps its secret, waiting for a person brave enough to imagine what the stones remembered before they disappeared.

The National Heritage List for England records Tower keep castle on Little Camp Hill 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.

Built in the late 12th or early 13th century, Tower Keep Castle on Little Camp Hill was constructed by the de Montfort family, likely Roger de Montfort, as a strategic stronghold in the Welsh Marches. It is important as a well-preserved example of a Norman tower keep castle and for its role in the medieval defense and administration of the region.
