Claxton Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Claxton, Norfolk, England.
The remaining structures of Claxton Castle include a 130-foot brick and flint wall with six bastions and three towers with staircases and archways.
Sir William de Kerdeston received a license to build the castle in 1340, with a second license granted to his son in 1376 following his death.
The castle achieved Grade II* listed building status in 1951 and holds scheduled monument designation, marking its architectural and historical value.
