What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Mere 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.

Mere Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, built in the 12th century, likely by a local lord under the authority of the Crown. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of post-Conquest settlement and control in the region.
