What is recorded here

Motte castle 100m north of Wotherton Hall is a scheduled monument in Shropshire, England. The earthwork still stands a short distance from the hall, preserving the shape of a defended home from a time when local power needed a visible warning. People may have watched roads, hidden in ditches, or simply lived beneath a sky that touched the top of the mound. The castle is not a display building, but a buried chamber of human ambition, waiting for imagination to complete what stone and soil stopped.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 100m north of Wotherton 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.
