Hangthwaite
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. In the 13th century, a fortified house called Radcliffe Moat (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.) replaced Hangthwaite Castle as a local fortification.[2] 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.[3]
It is known locally as Castle Hills,[1] with a school, just a few hundred yards away bearing the name Castle Hills Primary School.[4]
