What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Binbury 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.
Built in the late 11th or early 12th century, Binbury motte and bailey castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the strategic military and administrative use of such sites in the medieval landscape.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
