Rampton Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Rampton, England
The earthwork site contains a raised mound measuring 50 meters by 45 meters, surrounded by a deep defensive ditch with a connecting causeway.
Construction of the castle began during The Anarchy period under King Stephen's forces to contain Geoffrey de Mandeville's revolt in the 12th century.
The castle site demonstrates the Norman influence on English military architecture, marking a period of significant changes in fortification methods.
The castle remains are accessible near All Saints' Church, with visible earthworks providing evidence of medieval construction techniques.
During World War II, the Home Guard used the castle mound as a gun emplacement, leading to discoveries of 15th-century foundations.
