Trowbridge Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Trowbridge, England

The remnants of Trowbridge Castle include foundations of a motte-and-bailey structure, with outer bailey defenses along the north and west sides.

Archaeological excavations between 1986 and 1987 uncovered evidence of a manorial settlement that existed before the construction of the 12th-century castle.

The layout of modern Trowbridge reflects the castle's influence, with Fore Street following the former castle ditch and streets named Castle Street.

The archaeological site location at 51.31966 latitude and -2.20844 longitude is accessible through the town center of Trowbridge.

The castle site underwent extensive investigation during the Co-operative Dairy Depot excavations in 1988, revealing construction techniques from medieval England.
