What is recorded here

Motte castle 150m north east of Butthouse is a scheduled monument in Herefordshire, England. The earthworks still mark the place where people built, defended or lived before modern roads and fields covered the edges. Whether the mound served a lord, a soldier or a whole village remains unknown, but the ground kept the shape of human choice.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 150m north east of Butthouse 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, this motte castle was likely constructed by a local Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area. It is remembered as an important example of early medieval military architecture in the region.
