Claxton Castle - isolated pier
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Claxton Castle - isolated pier. Claxton Castle was castellated in 1333 by William de Kerdiston. A 40 metre section of wall and five bastions > 1476637 survive and earthworks give evidence of a complex structure which incorporates an inner moat and possibly an outer ditched enclosure. An isolated pier with portcullis grooves on the north-east corner probably formed part of the east façade or entrance gates. In the late 16th or early 17th century a mansion with a porch tower was built at right angles to the remaining castle wall. The mansion was demolished and replaced with Claxton Manor > 1476631 in the 17th century, incorporating the porch tower, with later extensions and renovations including the addition of the south pile. Excavations in advance of the building of a swimming pool have revealed more of the gatehouse and walls.
