What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Hemyock 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.

Hemyock Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Dunstanville family, likely as a strategic stronghold in the contested border region of Devon and Somerset. It is remembered for its well-preserved motte-and-bailey design and its historical significance in the medieval defense and administration of the area.
