What is recorded here

Castle Bank is a Norman motte and bailey castle 150m north west of Woolstaston Hall, its earthwork mound still marking post-Conquest territorial control in the English Marches. The precise dates and associations remain unresolved, but the shape is unmistakable: a built hill for watching, defending and remembering power. It stands protected as a scheduled monument, inviting wonder rather than certainty about the hands that shaped it.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Bank motte and bailey castle, 150m north west of Woolstaston Hall. 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 late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066, Castle Bank motte and bailey castle is important as a surviving example of early medieval military architecture in the region.
