What is recorded here

Canute's Palace, Porters Lane stands in Southampton as a scheduled monument, though the name suggests more grandeur than evidence. The distinction between a palace and a palace-like memory is the whole game. A king may have passed through, or a chronicler may have inflated a hall into a palace because plain facts bored him. Either way the lane kept the shape of that claim.

The National Heritage List for England records Canute's Palace, Porters Lane 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.

Canute's Palace, Porters Lane is believed to have been built by King Canute the Great in the early 11th century as a royal residence.
