What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Berkhamsted 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.

Berkhamsted motte and bailey castle was built by the de Lacy family in the late 11th or early 12th century, following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a well-preserved example of a Norman military and administrative site, reflecting the strategic control of the region after 1066.
