Starborough Castle is a late medieval fortified house situated in Ewhurst, Surrey, dating to the fifteenth century. The structure represents a transitional form between domestic and military architecture characteristic of the period, featuring defensive elements adapted to the needs of a substantial manor rather than a fortress of strategic importance. The castle survives as a substantial ruin, retaining evidence of its original layout and construction techniques typical of late medieval Surrey gentry residences. Its historical significance lies in its illustration of local aristocratic domestic life and building practices during the Wars of the Roses era.
