It is located near Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire, north-east Scotland. The peel comprises a mound or motte, surrounded by two concentric ditches separated by a bank. The outer earth bank is about {{convert|4|m}} high, the inner ditch or moat is {{convert|15|m}} across, and the central mound measures {{convert|37|by|45|m}}. The outer ditch was described as shallow in 1960, and is now difficult to discern. On the top of the mound are the remains of a {{convert|1|m|adj=on}} thick wall, and the foundations of a house measuring around {{convert|15|by|4|m}}. The entrance was probably located to the west.[1] The lower half of the motte consists of a natural mound; it was heightened when the castle was built.[2] A motte on this site is thought to have been in existence at the time of the Battle of Lumphanan.[1] This battle was fought nearby in 1057, between King Macbeth and the future King Malcolm III. Macbeth was killed, and Macbeth's Stone, upon which he is said to have been beheaded, is located {{convert|300|m}} to the south-west.[3] The present mound was constructed in the 13th century by the De Lundin family, who later adopted the name Durward from their hereditary position of royal ushers or door-wards.[3] Sir John de Melville paid homage to Edward I of England at the peel in 1296.[1] The original ramparts may have been of turf rather than stone.[1] The rectangular foundation is that of Halton House, which was built in the 15th century by Thomas Charteris of Kinfauns.[3] The circular wall, originally thought to have been the curtain wall of a shell keep, was discovered through excavation in the 1970s to be of 18th-century date.[1] The site is under the guardianship of Historic Scotland, and is protected as a scheduled monument. It is considered to be of national importance as "a good surviving example of an earthwork castle with water-filled outer defences."[4] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/17497/details/lumphanan/ |title=Lumphanan |work=CANMORE |publisher=Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland |accessdate=2010-09-07}} 2. ^{{cite article |last1=Webster |first1=Leslie E |author1-link=Leslie E.
