Castle Batch was a fortification at Worle that once stood overlooking the town of Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, England.

Details

Castle Batch was a motte constructed by the Norman lord Walter of Douai between the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and 1086.[1] It was built on a ridge above the surrounding area, with a mound that is now {{convert|3|m}} high and {{convert|42|m}} across, surrounded by a ditch up to {{convert|10|m}} wide.[1] The entrance was probably on the north side of the motte.[1] A possible bailey has been identified alongside the motte.[2] Although typically characterised as a motte, the mound has a slight indentation in the centre and archaeologist Stuart Prior considers the mound to have been a ringwork.[3]

Around 1200 the estate belonged to William de Courtney and by 1303 by John de Beauchamp.[4]

In the 21st century the site forms part of local parkland, and is protected by law as a scheduled monument.[5]
