MenuCastle Hill, Cheshire
Castle Hill is a Norman motte castle near Malpas, Cheshire. The castle is located at a strategic position along a narrow promontory formed by a meander of Wych Brook, which here forms the border with Flintshire. It is believed to have been built by Fitz Hugh, Baron of Malpas. It is one of a group of early post-conquest (c.1100) mottes forming a defensive system aimed at curbing Welsh raids on the rich farming areas of south Cheshire. It is within the council area of Cheshire West and Chester.
