What is recorded here
Motte and bailey castle in Pulborough Park is a scheduled monument in Horsham, England. The early Norman castle occupies a naturally-defended position above the River Arun. Its earthworks still mark the place where power and defence met the living landscape.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle in Pulborough Park 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 in Pulborough Park was likely constructed by a Norman lord to consolidate control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered as an important example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of the strategic importance of the region during the feudal period.
