What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Merdon 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.

Merdon Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, built in the 12th century, likely by a local lord under the authority of the Crown following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the strategic military and administrative use of such sites in the medieval landscape of England.
