What is recorded here

Stebbing Park still holds the buried heart of a castle, though no wall or room remains visible. The Mount is a motte castle, recorded as a scheduled monument in Uttlesford, England. It may have been a place of danger, display or everyday life, but the earth has taken back its rooms. What is left is a shape in the land, waiting to be imagined.

The National Heritage List for England records The Mount: a motte castle in Stebbing Park 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.

The motte castle at The Mount in Stebbing Park was likely built in the 11th or 12th century, probably by a Norman lord following the conquest of 1066. It is important as a scheduled monument, reflecting the strategic and military significance of such earthworks in the medieval landscape.
