Clun Castle
Clun Castle is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle overlooking the small town of Clun in Shropshire, England. Its dominant feature is a tall, rectangular late-Norman keep on a large motte, with associated baileys, towers and domestic buildings; by the 16th century it was largely ruined and was slighted in 1646. Today the site is a protected scheduled monument and Grade I listed building managed by English Heritage.

As it stood in 1350
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a large, scarped motte at a bend in the River Clun, the castle is dominated by an off-centre, four-storey rectangular stone great keep with pilaster buttresses and round-headed Norman windows. On the motte summit a fragmentary earlier square keep wall survives. A stone bridge links the main motte to a south-west mound leading to the gatehouse; the south-west shows the footings of a large round tower, and two solid turrets line the west front. Domestic ranges and bailey earthworks lie within the inner court and pleasure gardens sit beyond the river.
