Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Castle Toot, or Cleobury Castle, was a motte castle by the River Rea in the town of Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire. It is a scheduled monument, first listed in 1951.[1]
The castle was built in the early 12th century and owned by the Mortimer family. Hugh de Mortimer rebelled against Henry II and as a result the castle was destroyed in 1155.
The earthworks remain largely intact.[2] Towards the end of the 18th century, some stonework of the entrance and causeway to the castle was visible, but has now presumably been buried or dismantled.[1] There have been no archaeological finds at the site, despite excavations for building works being made in recent years.[3]
