Cusop Castle ringwork

The National Heritage List for England records Cusop Castle ringwork 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.

Cusop Castle ringwork was built in the late 12th or early 13th century, likely by a local landowner or noble family, as a defensive structure during a period of political instability following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a rare surviving example of a ringwork castle in England, illustrating medieval military architecture and local defensive strategies.
