Dodleston Castle
Dodleston Castle in Cheshire was founded in the Middle Ages as a ringwork castle before being developed into a motte-and-bailey. It was first mentioned in 1277, but may have existed in the 12th century when the manor of Dodleston was held by the Boydel family. The site has been protected as a scheduled monument since 1952. The earthworks were surveyed in 1964, 1986, and 1995 – the third survey was the most detailed and was carried out by University College Chester. References
