What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Cadbury 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.

Cadbury Castle is believed to have been built by the Normans in the 11th or 12th century, possibly under the de Courcy family. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and as a site linked to the historical resistance against the Norman invasion in the southwest of England.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
