Burley Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burley Castle, more commonly called Alstoe, was to the north of the village of Burley, two miles north-east of Oakham in the county of Rutland, grid reference SK894119. Alstoe was the name of a hundred.[1]
It was originally used as a Saxon moot (c.7th century-11th century).[2] There is doubtful evidence of a small motte and bailey castle of the late 11th or early 12th century (between 1086 and 1153). Only earthworks remain.[3]
