What is recorded here
Bothamsall castle hill is a motte and bailey in Bassetlaw where a hollow way still cuts through the land. People may have built the mound, watched the valley or fled when danger came, but the earth keeps that much without naming them.
The National Heritage List for England records Bothamsall motte and bailey castle and hollow way 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 12th century, Bothamsall motte and bailey castle was likely constructed by a local Norman lord following the conquest of 1066. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and as a scheduled monument, highlighting its historical and archaeological significance.
