Castle Howe motte and bailey castle

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Howe motte and bailey 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.

Built during the late 11th or early 12th century, Castle Howe motte and bailey castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the local area following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the strategic military and administrative use of such sites in the medieval landscape.
