What is recorded here

Motte castle, 110m north west of St Mary's Church in Stratford-on-Avon, England is a scheduled monument. It stands as a marked part of the local heritage, separate from the church but near enough to belong to the same lived landscape. Whether people walked past it, lived beside it or forgot it for a time is no longer clear. What remains is a place set apart, remembered by its position and protected by its listing.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle, 110m north west of St Mary's Church 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 was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. Its scheduling as a monument highlights its importance in understanding medieval military and territorial strategies in England.
