Allesley Castle

About

Allesley Castle is a former motte and bailey castle in Allesley, Coventry. The mound has never been excavated. All that remains of the castle is a large mound - the motte - and a defensive ditch approximately 45 metres (148 ft) in diameter.

The ditch contains several concrete blocks which are thought to be bases for bridges over the motte. The site is a scheduled historical monument.
