What is recorded here

Mileham Castle is a scheduled monument in Breckland, where the land still holds the shape of a lost fortress. The official list protects the remains but does not promise entry, so the castle keeps its distance from modern feet. It is not a display hall or a tourist trap; it is a buried anchor in open country, waiting for someone patient enough to look twice.

The National Heritage List for England records Mileham 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.

Mileham Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Vesci family, a prominent Norman landholding family in Norfolk. It is important as a rare example of a motte-and-bailey castle and as evidence of medieval military and social structures in the region.
