Anstey Castle
TL 404-329 Hertfordshire England

Anstey Castle Anstey Castle is an impressive 12th century stone motte and bailey fortress, founded by Eustace, Count of Boulogne. The large motte is encased by a wet ditch, with a flat rectangular bailey and barbican to the east. In 1902 minor excavations of the motte, revealed the flint foundations of a building. The dense cover of trees, makes it best viewed in winter. 2 miles south-east is Pelham Castle and 4 miles north-west is Periwinkle Hill.
