Hallaton Castle

Hallaton Castle was situated to the west of the village of Hallaton, which lies some 20 km to the south-east of the city of Leicester.

This was an interesting motte and bailey castle with an additional rectangular enclosure now surviving as an earthwork, 118 ft high, and 630 ft in circumference, on which stood the keep, occupying, with the outworks, about 2 acre of ground.

The earthworks only are present today.
