What is recorded here

Castle mound is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle in Llanigon, built after the 1066 Norman Conquest of England and before 1215. Earth, rubble and timber rose from a surrounding ditch, probably taken from nearby woods and ground. It stands as a scheduled monument, preserving the shape of medieval defence while leaving behind the forgotten people who lived, worked and watched from it.
The National Heritage List for England records Castle mound 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.

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