aerial photograph of Halton Castle,Halton-on-Lune Lancashire England UK. Halton Castle is a Norman Motte & Bailey castle constructed to cover the crossing of the River Lune near Lancaster. The castle was probably probably built around 1092 by Roger de Poitou to defend against raids from marauding Scots. Originally it was of timber construction with just the earthworks now remaining. The castle was severely damaged by Robert the Bruce in 1322 and never rebuilt. During the Second World War an observation post was built on top of the Motte.
