Scheduled Monument: Panpudding Hill is an especially fine example of a medieval ringwork and bailey castle (a stronghold defended by a bank and ditch), and is of particular interest because of its proximity to and probable association with Bridgnorth Castle 250m to the north east. www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MSA274&resourceID=1015#:~:text=Scheduled%20Monument%3A%20Panpudding%20Hill%20is%20an%20especially%20fine,with%20Bridgnorth%20Castle%20250m%20to%20the%20north%20east .

“During the Civil War, Bridgnorth was one of the Midlands' main Royalist strongholds and in 1642 many Royalist troops were garrisoned there. In 1646, Cromwell’s Roundheads arrived with orders to take Bridgnorth for the Parliamentarians from the garrison led by Sir Robert Howard.[2] Following a three-week siege, Cromwell was successful and he ordered that the castle be demolished. By 1647 little of the structure remained. The Parliamentarians left it much as it is today, the stone from the castle being taken and used to repair the town's damaged buildings.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgnorth_Castle
