What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Cornhill 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.
Cornhill Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Vesci family, likely as a defensive stronghold in the northern borderlands of England. It is remembered for its strategic role in the Anglo-Scottish conflicts and as an example of early medieval military architecture.

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