What is recorded here

Motte castle 200m south east of Lasborough is a scheduled monument in Cotswold, England. The earthwork still stands slightly south-east of the village, marking a time when local power needed a visible height. People may have watched roads, farmed the slopes or simply avoided the buried angle of old walls. The listing protects the shape but does not guarantee entry, so the castle keeps its distance even now.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 200m south east of Lasborough 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 near Lasborough is important as a testament to the widespread establishment of Norman military and administrative control in the post-Conquest landscape. Its scheduling as a monument highlights its archaeological and historical significance.
