Castlehill
Castlehill
Castle Hill is a scheduled ancient
monument in Almondbury overlooking Huddersfield in
the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire,
England. The hilltop has been settled for at least 4,000
years. The scheduled monument comprises the remains
of a late-Bronze Age or early Iron Age univallate
hillfort with a single raised bank, a later Iron Age
multivallate hillfort, a 12th-century motte and
bailey castle and the site of a deserted medieval village.
The grade II listed Victoria Tower on the summit of
Castle Hill is by far the most conspicuous landmark in
Huddersfield. The hill has been a place of recreation for
hundreds of years and the easily discernible remains of
past occupation have made it a subject for legend,
speculation and scientific study.
