Motte castle 100m south west of Lady House Farm

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

A hundred metres south west of Lady House Farm, a Norman earthwork still stands as a scheduled monument. Built during the 11th or 12th century, the substantial mound marked baronial control in the Welsh Marches before stone castles took over. Its builder remains unnamed, but the shape of the ground preserves the sudden violence and administrative reach of the conquest.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 100m south west of Lady House Farm 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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
