Shotwick Castle is a Norman medieval fortification near the village of Saughall Cheshire England. Construction began in the late 11th century. Its purpose was to control a crossing point on the River Dee between England and Wales. The site is a scheduled monument. No masonry features remain above ground except for earthworks.
