What is recorded here

Motte and bailey, N of Old Castleton is a scheduled monument in Herefordshire, England, where a raised mound and surrounding ditch still mark the footprint of a lost defensive home. The earthwork stands as a visible boundary between ordinary land and a place shaped for watchfulness, restraint and survival. Listing protects the monument but does not automatically grant entry, so the site keeps its distance even as it invites imagination.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte and bailey, N of Old Castleton 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.
