What is recorded here

Motte and bailey castle 160m north of Castle Mill Farm stands in Powerstock, Dorset, scheduled since October 1924. A mound and ditch still mark the ground where people built a defensible home, perhaps watching the valley or keeping out neighbours. The earth remembers the shape of human fear and pride even when every timber has rotted and every name has vanished.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey castle 160m north of Castle Mill 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.
