More information : [SK 92404644] Castle Hill [G.T.]. (1) An artificial mound. (2) This is a motte and bailey situated on a natural mound which is partly bounded by a stream. Modern building has encroached on the north and west sides of the bailey, within which is the Saxon church (SK 94 NW/13). Published survey (25") correct. (3) Part of the bailey bank is visible to the SW of the motte, but elsewhere it has been mutilated by later paths, and buildings. Modern features have destroyed any evidence of the NW side of the bailey. At SK 9244 4643, 20.0m east of the motte, there is a pond bay, which may be contemporary with the earthwork. No evidence of a mill site could be found. Published 25" survey revised. (4) SK 924 465. Castle Hill. Scheduled no. LI/180. (5) The Medieval motte referred to by the previous authority has also been mapped as part of the RCHME: Lincolnshire NMP. (6)
