What is recorded here

Motte and bailey castle and St Mary's Old Church stand together in Herefordshire, marked as a scheduled monument on the National Heritage List for England. The earthworks and church remain linked in one saved point, though listing does not guarantee entry. What is clear is that the place is recognised, recorded and set apart, not that it is open or fully understood.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle and St Mary's Old Church 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 12th century, the motte and bailey castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066, while St Mary's Old Church dates to the same period or later. The site is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting medieval military and religious activity in the area.
