Caus Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Westbury, England
The stone ruins of Caus Castle stand on a hilltop, featuring a motte with a small summit and multiple earthwork defenses across the landscape.
Following William the Conqueror's grant in 1069, Roger le Corbet established Caus Castle, which later developed into a medieval borough with 58 burgesses by 1349.
The castle's name originates from Pays de Caux in Normandy, reflecting the Norman heritage of the Corbet family who controlled these borderlands.
The archaeological site maintains visible outer earthworks and foundation remains, located at coordinates 52.6638051, -2.9818982 in Shropshire.
The castle's outer fortifications incorporate an Iron Age hillfort, demonstrating the strategic reuse of ancient defensive positions during medieval times.
