An alternative suggestion is that it was built by Robert de Ferrers or his father, around the period known as The Anarchy for, while the de Ferrers supported Stephen of England, the neighbouring Earl of Chester supported Empress Matilda. The castle itself includes a motte and two bailey enclosures, approximately 40 metres and 45 metres across respectively. It had timber defences, ditches and additional flanking earthworks. The castle appears to have been abandoned in subsequent years, and it may be that it was destroyed after William de Ferrers' part in the Revolt of 1173–74, or it might have become abandoned when the land passed to the Duchy of Lancaster after the sixth Earl was dispossessed. Alternatively, it may simply have become redundant as nearby Hartington grew in importance and the village of Pilsbury became increasingly depopulated.

Pilsbury Castle occupied an area of high ground approximately 175 by 150 yards overlooking the River Dove, near the village of Pilsbury. The castle was probably originally an Iron Age fortification before being used by the Normans, and the name "Pilsbury Castle" forms from the Celtic pil, the Saxon bury and the Norman castel, all meaning "fortified site". In early medieval times, the site would have been located along the River Dove routeway, and would also have overlooked a key crossing point. The Normans built a substantial motte-and-bailey castle on the site, and several theories have been put forward as to when and who did so. One theory is that the castle was built in the years following the Norman conquest of England. The area around Pilsbury was granted to Henry de Ferrers by King William; the area was devastated during the harrying of the North, and the castle may have been built in the aftermath by Henry to establish control.

Pilsbury Castle was a Norman Timber settlement, moat and Bailey Castle overlooking the River Dove. The limestone craggy outcrop was strategically used to create a rampart for the ancient settlement

Beautifully laid out flower beds around the motte down to the former moat.

The castle has been here on the banks of the River Anker for over 900 years. It's now paid entry and open Tue to Sun.

Really cool, you can still make out the structures that once surrounded the castle.

Mow Cop Castle sits on the summit of a rocky outcrop / ridge of sandstone grit, rising 355m above sea level, on the Cheshire- Staffordshire border. The ridge itself is great fun to explore and affords magnificent views.
