Bury Castle, Medieval fortification in Brompton Regis, England.
The remains of Bury Castle feature a central mound measuring 23 meters in height with an adjacent bailey extending 60 meters across the landscape point.
The site transformed from an Iron Age hillfort into a Norman motte-and-bailey castle during the 1130s, constructed under the supervision of William de Say.
The castle structure demonstrates the evolution of English military architecture from the Iron Age through the medieval period, reflecting changing defense requirements.
The castle stands at coordinates 51.2133916, -3.5511635, positioned near the meeting point of the River Haddeo and River Exe, making it accessible for exploration.
The oval enclosure of the original hillfort spans 120 yards in length and 80 yards in width, incorporating natural terrain features for enhanced defense.
