Flitwick Castle

Flitwick Castle var en middelalder borg i byen Flitwick i Bedfordshire i England.

Fæstningen var en lille motte-and-baileykonstruktion i tømmer omgivet af en voldgrav. Den blev anlagt i 1000-tallet, og den nævnes i Domesday Book i 1086, hvor ejeren var William Lovet, der var normanner. Lovet erstattede den angelsaksiske Alwin, som ejer af Flitwick inden den normanniske erobring af England i 1066.^[1]

Det eneste af borgen, som er bevaret, er jordvoldene, som nu er en del af parken Temple Field eller Mount Hill. Voldgravene er fyldt op, og højen er i dag omkring 7 m høj.^[2] Navnet Temple Field er taget fra den nærliggende kirke kaldet Church of St Peter & St Paul.^[1] Stedet er et Scheduled monument.
