Bishopton Castle Motte

Highlight • Castle

Bishopton Castle was built in 1143 by Roger de Conyers. It was built due to rivalry over support of different bishops of Durham, a powerful title in those days.
It's an interesting castle built with a Motte (still surviving) and two fortified baileys. In the 12th century it also had a low artificial lake surrounding it and the castle was accessed by causeway.
The motte is now a scheduled ancient monument.
