Denton Castle is a motte and bailey castle built in the village of Denton, Norfolk, England.
History
Denton Castle was built after 1088, following the Norman invasion of England, probably by William d'Albini, who linked his estate at Denton to that at Buckenham, where he also built a castle. The motte is around 150 feet in diameter, surrounded by a protective ditch, with an adjacent, horseshoe-shaped bailey. The castle may have been destroyed around 1254.
Today the castle is a scheduled monument. It was purchased by the National Trust in 1990 and forms part of the Trust's Darrow Wood pasture.
