1974 county of Hereford and Worcester.
Medieval County of Herefordshire.

Twyford has been described as a Uncertain although is doubtful that it was such.

Description

Listed by Harvey as a castle site.
Comments

Two Twyford place-names in Herefordshire one is a shrunken village in parish of Callow (SO506345) the other is a large farm complex in Eardisland (SO395590). Twyford does not appear in the SMR and neither site seems likely as the type of site likely to be listed by Harvey as a castle.
