Middleton
Mount is an 11th century earthwork motte and bailey fortress, founded by William
of Ecouis. The large motte, is encased by a wide ditch and to the east is a sub
rectangular bailey, with the remains of its encasing rampart and ditch. Excavations
of the ploughed out bailey shows, that the castle was also occupied during the
early 12th century. A mile north-east is Middleton
Towers and 4 miles south is Wormegay Castle.
