What is recorded here

Largin Castle is a medieval fortified site in Cornwall, England, preserved as a scheduled monument because its remains still reveal how power and defence shaped the county. The ground may have held walls, guards and ordinary people whose names vanished, yet the shape of the place still points to a time when local control mattered enough to build.

The National Heritage List for England records Largin 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.

Largin Castle is a 12th-century Norman motte-and-bailey castle, built by the de Lacy family, who were prominent Anglo-Norman lords in the region. It is important as a well-preserved example of early medieval military architecture and as evidence of Norman expansion into northern England.
