What is recorded here

Muddy water, old wood, human fire. Those are the facts in this case. The rest is invention, and invention is better dead than proud.

The National Heritage List for England records Great Easton 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.

Built in the late 11th or early 12th century, Great Easton motte castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of the strategic settlement patterns in post-Conquest England.
