Cirencester Castle, Medieval fortress site in Cirencester, England
The castle foundations lie between Castle Street, Park Lane, and Black Jack Street, marking the location of this medieval fortification.
Built around 1141 during the period known as the Anarchy, the castle supported Empress Matilda until King Stephen destroyed it in 1142.
The castle site represents the Norman influence on English architecture and military fortifications during the 12th century medieval period.
Modern visitors can locate the castle site by following Castle Street in central Cirencester, where information panels detail its history.
Archaeological evidence suggests the castle featured an earthwork and timber design, differing from later stone castle constructions in England.
