Crewkerne Castle, Norman castle remains in Crewkerne, England.
The castle site includes foundations of a stone tower and defensive ditches situated on a 450-foot high natural outcrop north of Crewkerne.
Henry I granted the manor to Richard de Redvers in 1107, and his son Baldwin initiated construction of the stone fortification at this location.
Archaeological excavations in 2011 recovered fragments of medieval pottery and architectural elements that demonstrate the Norman influence on English castle design.
The castle grounds present opportunities for archaeological research, with previous investigations revealing structural foundations and a circular defensive ditch system.
The castle site contains evidence of an incomplete Norman tower, suggesting construction ceased during medieval times for reasons not yet determined.
