Ballands Castle was a castle near the village of Penselwood, Somerset, England.
Balland Castle was a motte and bailey castle, probably built after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, near the village of Penselwood in Somerset.
[1] The castle sits close to the contemporary Norman castles of Cockroad Wood and Castle Orchard, and may have been built as part of a system of fortifications to control the surrounding area.
[1] The motte of the castle is now around 5 m high, and up to 9 m wide.
[3] Today the castle site is a scheduled monument.
