Castle Hill, Hangman's Hill and adjoining earthworks, Darrow Green is a complex of medieval and earlier earthworks situated in Norfolk. The site comprises a motte-and-bailey castle with associated defensive features and adjoining earthworks that reflect multiple phases of use and occupation. The principal mound, known as Castle Hill, represents the motte element of what was likely a Norman or early medieval fortified settlement, whilst the adjoining earthworks suggest a more extensive defensive or administrative complex than the castle alone. The monument is of significance for understanding the pattern of medieval settlement and fortification in Norfolk and the transition between earlier and later medieval occupation of the site.
