Brimpsfield Castle, Castle ruin in Brimpsfield, England.
The castle site contains visible earthworks, including a central mound, outer bank, deep ditch, and foundations of a medieval gatehouse structure.
Built in the 11th century and reconstructed in stone during the mid-12th century, the castle met its end in 1322 under King Edward II's orders.
The Gloucester Museum houses finely carved stone heads from 1240, recovered from the castle site, indicating the presence of a former chapel.
Public footpaths cross through the castle grounds, allowing visitors to examine the remaining structural elements of this scheduled monument site.
The castle's destruction resulted from John Giffard's rebellion, leading to Edward II's command that no stone should remain standing upon another.
