What is recorded here
Motte and bailey castle 400m south east of Bishopton, Darlington, England, is a scheduled monument. The earthworks stand four hundred metres south east of the town, marking a place where power once concentrated beneath an open sky. Listing protects the site but does not guarantee entry, so the mound may still keep its distance, waiting for boots that know when to stop walking.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle 400m south east of Bishopton 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
