What is recorded here

Motte castle 140m south east of Wilcot Hall stands as a scheduled monument in Shropshire, England. The earthwork still marks the ground where a defensible residence once rose, though no building remains visible. Listing protects the site but does not guarantee entry, leaving the motte hidden behind law and distance rather than open to casual walking.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 140m south east of Wilcot 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, the motte castle near Wilcot Hall was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. It is remembered as an example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of the strategic settlement patterns in post-Conquest England.
