The castle, mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to William de Eynsford under the suzerainty of the Archbishop of Canterbury, was surrounded by a moat. Within its flint walls were residential buildings that were destroyed by fire in the 13th century but subsequently rebuilt. The complex was eventually abandoned in the 14th century.
