Bolingbroke Castle
Bolingbroke Castle is a medieval castle ruin in Old Bolingbroke, Lincolnshire, England, founded by Ranulf, Earl of Chester, in 1220. It is an irregular polygonal enclosure built largely of local Spilsby greenstone, notable for having no central keep and for its thick curtain wall and D-shaped towers.

As it stood in 1367
The shape it held in its prime.
Built of local Spilsby greenstone, the castle is an irregular polygonal enclosure with a curtain wall up to five metres thick, defended by five D-shaped corner towers and a twin-towered gatehouse. The enclosure was originally surrounded by a broad water-filled moat about 31 metres wide. In its prime the complete circuit of curtain wall, towers and gatehouse formed a compact fortified ring set on low Lincolnshire farmland with a nearby settlement visible beyond the moat.
