What is recorded here

Motte castle 50m north of Village Farm is a scheduled monument in Shropshire, England. The official record marks the centre, not necessarily a path or gate. A ridge or ditch may still break the grass, waiting for someone curious enough to look before touching.

The National Heritage List for England records Motte castle 50m north of Village Farm 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 in the late 11th or early 12th century, this motte castle was likely constructed by a Norman lord to establish control over the surrounding area following the Norman Conquest. Its designation as a scheduled monument highlights its importance in understanding medieval military and territorial strategies in rural England.
