[edit] Summary

Description

Duffield Castle. Duffield Castle was a Norman Castle in W:Duffield, Derbyshire. It was on a steep-sided rocky promontory facing the river, easily defended, though it is debatable whether it was inhabited in prehistoric times. It is also controversial whether the Romans maintained a military presence to protect the ford, nearby, across which the convoys of lead from Lutudarum Wirksworth joined Rykneld Street at Derventio (now part of Derby), en route for the North Sea ports.OSGB36: geotagged!
