Weeting Castle
Travel Information and nearby accommodation
A 12th century moated manor house built by the De Plaiz family. The site was first occupied in the late 10th or early 11th century, but around 1180 the De Plaiz family constructed a fortified manor house within a rectangular moat enclosure.
The remains of the manor include a rectangular south tower and the 3-story high shell of the south end of the house. The castle enclosure measures approximately 105 metres by 79 metres. The castle itself, which stands in the southern part of the moated island, measures 30 metres long and 14 metres wide.
A motte-shaped mound on the site is thought to be a much later addition, and is probably an ice house built for nearby Weeting Hall.
