What is recorded here

Ever, Morden and Heber towers still stand inside a broken line of medieval wall, watching the town they helped shape. Built through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the section served both to defend Newcastle and to mark the edge of its regulated life. The ditch beside it suggests a boundary people could see, fear, obey or cross only when permission was given.

The National Heritage List for England records Newcastle upon Tyne town defences: section of curtain wall containing Ever, Morden and Heber towers, two turrets and two sections of town ditch 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.

Newcastle upon Tyne town defences, including Ever, Morden, and Heber towers, were built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries by the town's burgesses under the authority of the Crown. The defences were crucial in protecting the growing medieval town and are remembered as a significant example of urban fortification in northern England.
