What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Olveston Court moat complex and earthworks 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.
Olveston Court moat complex and earthworks includes a ringfort or rath, likely dating to the early medieval period, associated with defensive or elite settlement. Local tradition links the site to folklore involving hidden treasures and otherworldly beings, common in British and Irish fairy fort lore.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
