Kilton Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Lockwood, England
The stone remains of Kilton Castle stand on a strategic promontory above Kilton Beck valley, with defensive slopes on three of its sides.
The castle was initially constructed in timber around 1140 and reconstructed in stone by 1190, belonging to noble families including de Brus and de Kilton.
The Grade I listed building status of Kilton Castle reflects its exceptional architectural and historical value within England's national heritage collection.
The castle ruins are situated 130 meters east of Castle Cottages, with unrestricted access allowing visitors to examine the medieval structure.
Kilton Castle was built without a keep, making it one of the first castles in northern England to deviate from traditional Norman military architecture.
