Castle Toll is the site of a 9th-century Saxon burgh near Newenden, Kent. Burghs were defended settlements established as part of a widespread scheme of defence against invading Viking armies. This burgh took the form of a 20-acre enclosure on a low peninsula which was defended primarily by the marshland of the River Rother on three sides and by a broad bank and ditch on the southern side. Set within this larger enclosure is a smaller but much stronger 13th-century defensive work, positioned to deter French raids up the River Rother. The monument is within the council area of Ashford (Kent).
Historic England Scheduled Monument 1013041.
