Hartshill Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Hartshill, Warwickshire, England
The castle stands on a ridge with remaining stone walls forming a five-sided polygon, featuring cross-shaped loopholes and partially preserved curtain walls.
Hugh de Hardreshull constructed the initial motte and bailey structure in 1125, while John de Hartshill replaced wooden defenses with stone walls in 1330.
The castle remains represent the evolution of medieval military architecture from wooden fortifications to stone-built defensive structures in medieval England.
Visitors can view the castle ruins from a public footpath that runs along the southern section of the former defensive ditch.
Archaeological excavations near the castle uncovered Stone Age flints and extinct animal bones, indicating human presence for thousands of years.
