What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Millsome 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.
Millsome Castle is a 13th-century motte-and-bailey castle built by the de Montacute family, likely during the early medieval period to control local trade routes and defend against potential threats. It is important as a well-preserved example of Norman military architecture in the region.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
