There are a number of folktales and myths attached to the hill. It was said that Queen Cartimandua of the Brigantes used the hill as a stronghold during her civil war with Venutius, her husband. However, no evidence has ever been found to support any occupation during the late Iron Age/Romano-British period. Although a Roman observation post would not be out of consideration (again, there is no physical evidence to support this).
The Roman name for the hill was Camelodunum - leading some to suspect that Castle Hill may be the true site of Camelot. Although there was a 5th Century king of the Pennines named Arthius, again, no evidence has been found to support his occupation of the hill.
