What is recorded here

Cranmer's Mound is a scheduled monument in Rushcliffe, England. It is not one feature but a whole small landscape, a castle mound, a viewing mound, water-filled ditches, an enclosure, a hollow way and old farm ridges. The name suggests a person, yet the shapes suggest several ages of life, fear, pride and hunger. To walk it is to read a place that never stopped changing.
The National Heritage List for England records Cranmer's Mound: motte castle, prospect mound, moated fishponds, enclosure, hollow way and ridge and furrow 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.
