What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Abbotsbury Castle (camp) as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Abbotsbury Castle is believed to have been built by the Abbots of Glastonbury in the 13th century as a defensive structure to protect their nearby estates. It is important as a rare example of monastic military architecture and is remembered for its historical association with Glastonbury Abbey.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
