What is recorded here

Vault S is a scheduled monument at the junction of High Street and Castle Way in Southampton, though listing does not mean the public may enter it. The name suggests a hidden chamber beneath a busy street corner, perhaps a medieval cellar or a wartime shelter waiting for a key that no longer exists. People walk past the junction without knowing the ground holds a room the state has chosen to protect.

The National Heritage List for England records Vault S of junction of High Street and Castle Way 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.
