What is recorded here

Cusworth Motte Castle is a scheduled monument in Doncaster, England. The land itself may have been busy before the castle rose, yet no clear human life or event is recorded for the exact spot. The official label protects the place without promising entry or explaining the story hidden beneath the soil.

The National Heritage List for England records Cusworth Motte 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.

Cusworth Motte Castle was built in the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle, illustrating early medieval military architecture and land control in England.
