What is recorded here

Motte castle 510m east of Broadward Hall is a scheduled monument in Shropshire, England, where a mound of earth still holds the shape of a forgotten defence. The distinction between a local myth and a recorded fact is not the same as the distinction between a visible landmark and a hidden one. The mound may be small, but it is not empty. It is a marker, a boundary, a claim made in soil rather than ink.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 510m east of Broadward Hall 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 late 11th or early 12th century, this motte castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the strategic military and administrative use of such sites in the medieval landscape.
