Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Motte and bailey castle and associated earthworks south of Locking Head Farm stands in North Somerset as a scheduled monument, marked only by earth and memory. The hill may have worn a wooden hall, a guard tower and a courtyard where people lived, argued and watched the road. Time has buried the timber and smoothed the edges, leaving a shape the land still remembers.
