Denham Castle, Medieval castle in Gazeley, England
The castle features a circular bailey surrounded by a deep ditch measuring 132 meters by 122 meters with a motte in the northeastern corner point.
The castle reached its peak during the civil wars following Stephen of Blois's ascension, but declined after Henry II stripped many Suffolk nobles of their fortifications.
The motte and bailey structure exemplifies the Norman influence on English military architecture and the social organization of medieval Suffolk settlements.
The castle remains are currently maintained through a partnership between the Denham Estate and English Heritage, with access primarily from the south entrance.
Four pieces of medieval pottery were discovered at the site, including one fragment potentially dating back to the Roman period.
