Castle Hill is the site of a medieval fortified house or "adulterine castle," which was built without a royal license during the period of civil war between King Stephen and Empress Matilda in the mid-12th century.
While no stone structures remain, the site is a Scheduled Monument protected by law. The earthworks, including a triangular enclosure, steep natural slopes, and a deep ditch, are still visible. Archaeological excavations have also uncovered a circular depression, thought to be the site of a former tower, and other historical artifacts.
"Boltbury": The site is also known locally as "Boltbury" and, according to tradition, is the location of the old town of Shaftesbury.
Today, Castle Hill is a nature reserve and a popular open space for both locals and visitors. It is officially designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.
