Buckton Castle
}}
Buckton Castle is a medieval ringwork near Carrbrook, Stalybridge, England. It is listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument due to its proximity to the Buckton Vale Quarry. The castle is oval, with a stone curtain wall wide, surrounded by a ditch wide and deep. Buckton Castle was probably constructed for William de Neville in the late 12th century; it was lying derelict by 1360. The small number of finds retrieved during archaeological investigation of the site indicates that Buckton Castle may not have been completed.
In the 16th century, the site was used as a beacon for the Pilgrimage of Grace. During the 18th century, the castle was of interest to treasure hunters following rumours of the presence of buried treasure. It was used as an anti-aircraft decoy site in the Second World War. The castle is overgrown with heather and peat, and there are no above-ground ruins. Since 1996, the University of Manchester Archaeological Unit has been involved in excavations to maintain the site and reveal more information on its origins and purpose.
==Location==
Buckton Castle lies above sea level on Buckton Hill, a steep sandstone ridge (). To the south is the valley of the Carr Brook, and to the west is the valley of the River Tame. Buckton Vale Quarry is close to the east of the castle. Stalybridge is about south-east of the site.〔Grimsditch, Nevell, & Redhead (2007), p. 5.〕 The castle's positioning may have been to allow its garrison to guard the Tame Valley;〔Grimsditch, Nevell, & Redhead (2007), p. 7.〕 both castle and valley were in the medieval manor of Tintwistle.〔King & Alcock (1969), p. 117.〕 A manor was a division of land and administered by a Lord of the Manor or his representative; in the case of Tintwistle, it was part of the larger lordship of Longdendale.〔Friar (2003), pp. 185–186.〕
