What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Essendine Castle moated site 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.
Built in the 13th century, Essendine Castle moated site was held by the de Essendine family, who were prominent landowners in the area. It is important as a rare example of a medieval moated site in England, illustrating the defensive and social structures of the period.

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