Castle Rising is shown as a castle on the public map of King's Lynn and West Norfolk. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Built by Roger Bigod, 1st Earl of Norfolk, in the early 12th century, Castle Rising is important as a well-preserved example of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle and later stone keep, reflecting the military and administrative strategies of the Anglo-Norman elite.
