What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Lowe Hill 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.
Lowe Hill motte and bailey castle was built during the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the widespread establishment of such fortifications to consolidate Norman control over England.
