What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Twist Castle Romano-British farmstead 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.
Twist Castle Romano-British farmstead was occupied during the Roman period in Britain, roughly between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. It is important as a rare surviving example of rural Roman settlement, providing insight into agricultural and domestic life in Roman-occupied Britain.
