A timber castle is thought to have been constructed at Kilton between 1135 -40 AD. The remains visible today are those of a stone built castle, constructed about 1190-1200 by the Kilton family. The castle was abandoned and in 1341 it was described as small and worthless. It was totally abandoned during the 16th century. The rubble built curtain wall survives from 1.3 to 5.3 m in height. Site excavation show that the castle was in use in the 15th century. There is also several remaining ridge and furrow earthworks.
