Cuckney Castle, Motte-and-bailey castle in Norton and Cuckney, England.
The remains of Cuckney Castle include a raised earthwork motte with traces of a stone structure and an enclosed courtyard area known as the bailey.
Thomas de Cuckney established this defensive fortress during the 11th century, but it was later destroyed during the civil conflict of The Anarchy under King Stephen.
The castle's location near St Mary's Church in Norton Cuckney represents the relationship between religious and military structures in medieval English settlements.
Visitors can observe the remaining low motte structure and wide ditch at the edge of the churchyard, accessible through local footpaths in Norton and Cuckney.
A mass grave containing approximately 200 human remains was discovered in a trench near the castle site during excavations in the 1950s.
