View towards the remains of the castle

Hangthwaite Castle was an earthwork motte and bailey castle founded by Nigel Fozzard. It stood in the 11th century[1] and is situated just north of Scawthorpe, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. Originally, the site was known as Langthwaite, though it changed over the years to Hangthwaite.[2][3] In the 13th century, a fortified house called Radcliffe Moat (Шаблон:Coord) replaced Hangthwaite Castle as a local fortification.[4] Nowadays, only the motte and the ditches remain. Encased by the wide wet ditch, the motte defends a bean-shaped eastern bailey and a small north-western mound, which is possibly a barbican.[5]

A settlement was adjacent to the castle, which is now designated as a Deserted Medieval Village (DMV).[6] The site is now a scheduled monument.[1]

It is known locally as Castle Hills,[7] with a school, just a few hundred yards away bearing the name Castle Hills Primary School.[8]
