Castle Hill is a medieval earthwork motte and bailey fortress, which has been damaged by digging. The castle was possibly built in the 11th century or during the Anarchy, in the reign of King Stephen. The motte is encased by a ditch and crowned by a strong breastwork but with the dense cover of trees, the site is best viewed in winter. The position of the bailey has been lost but there maybe slight traces remaining, on the east side of the motte. 6 miles to the east is Kingshaugh Camp and 6 miles south-east is Egmanton Castle.
