Thurland Castle (NR) Dungeon (NR) Moat (NR) (1)

The original Thurland Castle built in the 14th century was
largely destroyed after the siege of 1643. During the 19th
century it was extensively rebuilt and probably incorporates
some of the earlier structure. (Plan) (2) Gde II (3). (2,3)

The exterior of the castle appears purely 19th century except
for the main door which is earlier, possibly 15th century.
What has previously been described as the dungeon is probably
part of the former gatehouse.
