Eynsford Castle Kent explored

Here I take a look around the ancient ruins of the Early Norman Castle of Eynsford in Kent. The substantial flint stone "curtain" wall with moat were constructed around 1085 - 1087 probably by William de Eynsford, a knight & sheriff of Kent on an earlier Saxon structure. The defences were further strengthened & the curtain wall raised to 10 metres in the late 11th or early 12th century & a hall & associated buildings were erected inside the castle walls. Ransaked in 1312 the castle was subsequently abandoned. During the mid-18th century Eynsford Castle was used for stabling & the kennelling of hunting hounds for the Hart Dyke family for the estate at Lullingstone Castle...........
