What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Somerton 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.
Somerton Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Mohun family, a prominent noble lineage in Devon. It is remembered for its historical association with the Black Death and for being the site of the 15th-century "Somerton Man" mystery, though the latter is unrelated to the castle itself.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
