Castle Hill is a motte and bailey castle situated approximately 900 metres north-north-east of All Saints Church in Buckinghamshire. The site comprises a substantial mound with an attached bailey, representing a typical Norman fortification of the eleventh or twelfth century. Such earthwork castles served as important instruments of feudal control during the post-Conquest period, functioning as both military strongholds and administrative centres for their lords. The surviving earthworks demonstrate the enduring physical legacy of Norman settlement and territorial organisation in this region of England.
