What is recorded here

Castle Roborough rises in North Devon as a scheduled monument, marked only by a point on an official list rather than a clear gate or path. The name suggests a castle, yet no wall or tower remains visible to judge whether it served a king, a family, or a border dispute. Listing protects the ground but does not invite entry, leaving the motte hidden behind private land and human curiosity.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte called Castle Roborough 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 by the de Roumare family in the 11th or 12th century, Castle Roborough is remembered as a significant Norman motte-and-bailey castle that reflects early medieval military architecture in Devon.
