What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Danes 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.

Danes Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, built in the 11th or 12th century, likely by a local Norman lord following the conquest of 1066. It is important as a surviving example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of the establishment of Norman authority in the region.
