Carlton Castle, Medieval motte-and-bailey castle in Castle Carlton, England.
The circular earthwork mound measures 40 meters in diameter and rises 8 meters high, featuring steep sides and a 15-meter wide flattened summit.
The castle emerged after the Norman Conquest under Ansgot of Burwell's ownership, later passing to the Bardolf family and John Meriet through marriage in 1275.
The site represents one of 600 motte and bailey castles across Britain that shaped the Norman administrative and military system in medieval times.
Visitors can locate the castle remains at coordinates 53.331 latitude and 0.093528 longitude, though access requires navigation through rural pathways.
The castle's double bailey configuration includes water-filled sections in its defensive ditches, which extend up to 12 meters in width.
