What is recorded here
Castle Cob is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle in Cheshire, built after the Conquest of 1066 to project military control across the region. Its earthwork mound still rises from the land, preserving the shape of a defensive stronghold whose original founder remains unknown. The site stands as a scheduled monument, protecting the archaeological record of Norman settlement and territorial reach in eleventh and twelfth century England.
Castle Cob is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Cheshire West and Chester. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
