Wybert's Castle medieval moated site

Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

Wybert's Castle is a medieval moated site at Wyberton where a raised island still sits inside wide water-cut ditches. Excavations found stone structures and pottery dating the main occupation to the 12th and 13th centuries, with possible use into the 15th century. The name “Wybert's Castle” is probably a late 19th century invention, but the water, banks and ponds make the shape of the place easy to imagine: a private estate using depth and distance as much as strength.
The National Heritage List for England records Wybert's Castle medieval moated site 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 historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
