Buckton Castle is a ringwork situated approximately 350 metres north-east of Castle Farm in Cheshire, England. The monument consists of an earthwork defence characteristic of medieval fortifications, comprising a circular or oval bank and ditch arrangement typical of Norman or early medieval date. The site subsequently served a defensive function during the English Civil War period, when it was utilised as a beacon position, reflecting its strategic topographical location. The ringwork survives as an upstanding earthwork and remains a significant example of early medieval fortification in the region.
