Ruined castle. Started after 1157, reconstructed in stone C13, extensively rebuilt in 1541. The earliest work is a motte and bailey castle, the finest medieval earthwork in the county.
The castle started off as a wooden motte and bailey castle in the 12th century. By 1157 King Henry II had ordered it be replaced by a stone castle. In 1173-4 it was taken by the Scots (probably before the stone-work had even started).
