Caus Castle
Caus Castle is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle and earlier hillfort on the eastern foothills of the Long Mountain in Westbury, Shropshire, England. The site was rebuilt in stone in the 12th–13th centuries, dominated a small borough in its outer bailey, and was destroyed in the English Civil War; its earthworks and ruined masonry survive as a prominent hilltop ruin.

As it stood in 1263
The shape it held in its prime.
A high earthen motte rises from the hillside with a very small summit occupied by a stone keep; a surrounding inner bailey is enclosed by a stone curtain wall punctuated by D-shaped flanking towers added in the 13th century. Below the motte a larger outer bailey contains the planned streets and church of the borough. Visible earthwork ramparts and a defensive ditch cut into the slope set the fort atop the eastern foothills of the Long Mountain, overlooking the approach road.
