What is recorded here

Starborough Castle is a scheduled monument in Tandridge, England, marked on the official heritage list but still hidden from casual entry. The castle may be gone, buried or renamed, yet the designation preserves the shape of what once stood there. A room, a courtyard or a forgotten tower may still exist beneath the land, waiting for someone to stop treating the absence as a mistake.
The National Heritage List for England records Starborough 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.
Starborough Castle was built in the 12th century by the de St Aubyn family, a prominent Norman landowning family in Devon. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval moated manor house and is remembered for its historical association with the St Aubyn family and its role in the region's feudal history.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
