What is recorded here

Castle Tump, a motte castle and causeway, 150m west of Teme Bridge, stands as a scheduled monument in Shropshire, England. The earthwork still rises beside the river, preserving the shape of a defensive place though its builders and exact dates have faded from local memory. A causeway once carried people across open ground or water, suggesting the castle controlled movement as much as it resisted attack. The mound may have hidden a hall, a guardroom or a family home, while the causeway marked the only easy route past the river bend.

The National Heritage List for England records Castle Tump, a motte castle and causeway, 150m west of Teme Bridge 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 11th or 12th century, likely by Norman settlers following the conquest of 1066, Castle Tump is remembered as a strategic defensive site near the River Teme, reflecting early medieval military architecture in the region.
