Bramber Castle
Bramber Castle is the ruins of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle in the village of Bramber, West Sussex, that served as the caput of the medieval barony of Bramber. Today only fragmentary stonework remains, most prominently a tall gatehouse tower, the earthen motte and stretches of low curtain wall, with a small church beside the former entrance.

As it stood in 1210
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact Norman motte-and-bailey sited above a river valley, dominated by a single tall stone gatehouse tower of roughly rectangular plan with narrow vertical window slits and traces of timber floor-joist holes; low stretches of rough flint-and-rubble curtain wall link the tower to earthworks and building foundations. The motte is a rounded earthen mound about 10 m high set north of the gatehouse, and a small stone parish church sits adjacent to the castle entrance; surrounding landscape is open fields and hedgerows.
