Maiden Castle was originally scheduled on the 30th December 1969 but this was later amended on the 5th March 2014 because the first documentation did not meet modern standards. The monument is of national importance because it has the potential to add significantly to our understanding of the construction, form and function of promontory forts in the Iron Age.
