Haughley Castle, Medieval castle in Haughley village, Suffolk, England
The castle features a substantial motte measuring 210 feet wide at its base, surrounded by a rectangular bailey spanning 390 by 300 feet.
Hugh de Montfort constructed this defensive castle in the late 11th century, which later faced destruction during the 1173 revolt against Henry II.
The castle remains demonstrate the architectural methods and military engineering principles employed by Norman builders in medieval English fortifications.
The scheduled monument status of Haughley Castle requires visitors to obtain permission before conducting any archaeological or research activities.
The castle motte rises 80 feet from its base, making it one of the largest surviving medieval earthworks in Suffolk county.
