Town defences 270m north and 350m north east of Peveril Castle is a scheduled ancient monument comprising earthwork fortifications associated with the medieval settlement at Castleton in Derbyshire. These defensive structures, which include bank and ditch formations, date to the medieval period and served to protect the town that developed in proximity to the Norman castle. The earthworks represent the physical remains of the town's perimeter defences and reflect the strategic importance of Castleton as a controlled settlement within the Peak District. The monument's survival as upstanding earthwork features provides archaeological evidence of medieval urban planning and settlement organisation in the region.
