What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Fenny Castle: a motte and bailey 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.
Fenny Castle, a motte and bailey castle, was likely built in the 12th century, during the early period of Norman castle construction in England. It is remembered as an example of the strategic military and administrative structures established in the post-Conquest era to consolidate Norman control over the region.
