Round called Castle Gotha

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Castle Gotha is a scheduled monument in Cornwall, protected within a 1.13 hectare boundary. It stands on Lower Devonian Rocks, ancient mudstone and sandstone that have weathered into the Cornish landscape. The name Gotha suggests a forgotten identity, perhaps a family hall or coastal marker lost to time. What remains is a place set apart, guarded by law, waiting for someone to remember why it was called a castle.
The National Heritage List for England records Round called Castle Gotha 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 by the de Gotha family in the 12th century, Castle Gotha is remembered as a strategic Norman stronghold in the region. Its scheduling as a monument highlights 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.
