What is recorded here

Odiham Castle stands in Hart, England, recognised as a scheduled monument though its visible form may have faded into the land long before anyone thought to protect it. The designation does not guarantee entry, nor does it describe what remains above ground. It marks a judgement that the site still matters, even when matter is no longer obvious.

The National Heritage List for England records Odiham 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.

Odiham Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Redvers family, later held by the Earls of Devon. It is important as a well-preserved example of a motte-and-bailey castle and for its historical association with the Norman expansion in southern England.
