What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Bishop's Moat, Castle as Motte and Bailey from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bishop's Moat Castle was a medieval motte-and-bailey structure, likely built in the 12th or 13th century, and may have been held by a local lord or ecclesiastical authority. It is remembered as part of the broader network of defensive and administrative sites that shaped medieval Welsh frontier society.
