What is recorded here

Burlough Castle is a scheduled monument in Wealden, England, though the name suggests a castle that no longer stands. The land may have swallowed the stones, the hall, the guard room and the people who first believed the place would last. What remains is a marker in the earth, waiting for someone to point at it and ask what disappeared.

The National Heritage List for England records Burlough 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.

Burlough Castle was built in the 12th century, likely by a local Norman lord as a defensive stronghold following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered for its historical significance as a scheduled monument, reflecting medieval military architecture and land control in rural England.
