What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Cotley 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.

Cotley Castle is a 13th-century motte-and-bailey castle, built by the de Lacy family, who were prominent Anglo-Norman lords in the region. It is remembered for its historical significance as a defensive site and as an example of early medieval military architecture in England.
