Starborough Castle
Starborough Castle, Medieval quadrangular castle in Dormansland, England
Starborough Castle is a four-sided fortress with thick stone walls arranged around a central courtyard. The structure displays typical features of 14th-century defensive fortifications including corner towers and reinforced entrances.
The castle was built in 1341 during a period of territorial power struggles in southern England. It served as a defensive installation meant to protect the local holdings of its builders against invasions and raids.
The castle represents the medieval engineering capabilities and architectural knowledge that influenced the development of fortified structures across England.
The grounds sit beside Moor Lane and offer parking spaces for visitors wanting to explore the structure. The site is best reached on foot, and sturdy footwear is recommended due to uneven terrain surfaces.
The castle holds Grade II* listed building status, meaning its original structure is carefully monitored and protected. This makes it an important witness to medieval building practices in a region filled with historical remains.
