Marlborough Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Marlborough, England.
The castle site features a 19-meter high mound with remaining earthworks and stone foundations within the grounds of Marlborough College.
William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a wooden motte-and-bailey castle on this strategic location in 1067 following the Norman invasion.
The castle grounds contain archaeological evidence of medieval life, including pottery fragments and architectural elements from different construction periods.
Visitors can access the castle site through Marlborough College, where interpretive panels explain the historical development of the fortification.
The castle mound conceals a network of underground passages, including a flint-lined grotto created during the Tudor period.
