Anstey motte and bailey castle

The National Heritage List for England records Anstey motte and bailey castle 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.

Anstey motte and bailey castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte and bailey castle, illustrating early medieval military architecture and settlement patterns in England.
