Mouselow Castle, Norman castle in High Peak, England
The earthwork fortification stands on a commanding ridge north of Glossop, featuring remnants of a motte-and-bailey structure visible from the main road.
William Peverel established this defensive position during the Norman period, constructing it upon what researchers believe was a former Celtic hilltop settlement.
The castle's designation as a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 reflects its importance in English medieval heritage.
Located off Hilltop Road, the castle site is accessible through the A57 road, approximately 14 miles east of Manchester and 12 miles northwest of Peveril Castle.
The original bailey position has disappeared over time due to quarrying activities, altering the archaeological layout of this Norman fortification.
