Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Dally Castle in Northumberland, England stands as a scheduled monument, a fortified house and tower house marked for protection though no known chamber is certain to contain a living person. The formal record treats the site as a point to remember, not as a home for imagination. Any claim that it hosts a conscious resident goes beyond the facts and becomes invention.
The National Heritage List for England records Dally Castle fortified house and tower house 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.
Dally Castle fortified house and tower house was built in the 14th or 15th century, likely by a local gentry family for defensive and residential purposes. It is important as a surviving example of medieval domestic architecture and as evidence of the region's historical patterns of landholding and defense.

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