What is recorded here

Shrawardine castle and settlement remains in Shropshire, England is a scheduled monument, though the official listing does not guarantee that anyone may enter the place today. The point is that the land still holds the shape of a lost castle and settlement, not that a visitor should simply walk onto it. What is missing is not the importance of the site but the permission to touch it.

The National Heritage List for England records Shrawardine castle and settlement remains 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.

Shrawardine Castle was built in the late 13th century by Roger de Montbegon, a prominent Marcher lord, and later held by the de Montfort family. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle and as a key site in the history of the Welsh Marches.
