What is recorded here

South Cowton is a scheduled monument immediately south west of Cowton Castle. The designation recognises the surviving medieval landscape rather than inviting casual entry. The village disappeared while the castle remained, leaving behind a ghost town instead of a living one.

The National Heritage List for England records South Cowton deserted medieval village, immediately south west of Cowton 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.
