Hallaton Castle earthworks, 2006

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 (Шаблон:Gbmapping). It seems likely that the castle formed the administrative centre of an estate owned by Geoffrey Alselin, which is described in the Domesday Book, pinpointing the construction of the castle happening before 1086 but after 1066.

This was an interesting motte and bailey castle with an additional rectangular enclosure now surviving as an earthwork, Шаблон:Convert high, and Шаблон:Convert in circumference, on which stood the keep, occupying, with the outworks, about Шаблон:Convert of ground.

The earthworks only are present today.
