What is recorded here
Motte and bailey castle and associated earthworks 100m south of Tuthill Farm stands as a scheduled monument in North Hertfordshire, England. The earthworks mark a vanished stronghold where power was built from soil rather than stone. Listing protects the remains but does not guarantee entry, leaving the castle hidden behind law and distance.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle and associated earthworks 100m south of Tuthill Farm 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.
Built in the late 11th or early 12th century, likely by a Norman lord or military commander following the Norman Conquest, the castle is important as a surviving example of early medieval military architecture and land control in England.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
