Castle Hill Halton
Opposite Church Brow, Halton, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA2 6LS
The monument at Castle Hill consists of a truncated motte situated at the end of a promontory overlooking the River Lune with a well defined bailey to the NW of the motte. One of a chain of Norman fortifications along the Lune valley from Lancaster up to Sedburgh and Tebay.
The site has been in the ownership of the parish council since the 1920s and has been used as rough grazing. Recent funding raised by the local heritage group will enable access to the site to be improved and the site to be opened to the public in spring 2025. Come along and get a preview of the site before work starts.
