What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Musbury Castle 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.
Musbury Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Musbury family, likely as a defensive stronghold during the Norman period. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and is listed as a scheduled monument due to its historical and archaeological significance.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
