Weobley Castle, Medieval ringwork castle in Weobley, England
The castle features an enclosed earthwork structure with double ditches positioned at the southern edge of the settlement of Weobley.
The fortification, first documented in 1138, formed part of the Marcher barony held by Roger de Lacy during the time of the Domesday survey.
The castle represented a center of regional administration for the de Lacy family, who controlled several fortifications across Herefordshire during medieval times.
The remaining earthworks of the castle provide researchers with information about medieval defensive construction techniques and territorial organization patterns.
Archaeological evidence reveals the castle contained a quadrangle with corner towers, mid-wall towers, and a great tower, though only earth formations remain visible.
