Motte castle 300m north east of Combe House

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Motte castle 300m north east of Combe House is a scheduled monument in Herefordshire, England. The earthwork stands as a marked feature in the official record, though the boundary between public curiosity and private land remains unclear. A mound shaped by human hands may have watched over Combe House for centuries, yet no path or gate is certain. The castle keeps its distance, waiting for someone brave enough to ask permission before touching its silence.
The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 300m north east of Combe House 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, likely by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066, the motte castle is important as a testament to the military and administrative strategies of the early medieval period in England.
