What is recorded here
Kenwith Castle 330yds (300m) SE of Kenwith is a scheduled monument in Torridge, England. The designation protects the remains but does not guarantee entry, so curiosity must respect the boundary. That tension between preservation and exclusion gives the site its quiet edge.
The National Heritage List for England records Kenwith Castle 330yds (300m) SE of Kenwith 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.
Kenwith Castle was built in the 13th century, likely by the de Lacy family, and later held by the powerful Cluniac priory of St Mary, Bingham. It is remembered as an example of a motte-and-bailey castle that reflects the feudal and religious landscape of medieval Lincolnshire.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
