Conisbrough Castle
Conisbrough Castle is a medieval fortification in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, centred on a distinctive late-12th-century stone keep. The site comprises an inner and outer bailey with surviving lengths of curtain wall and several ruined mural towers; the circular keep with six massive buttresses dominates the hill. The property is managed as a historic site and the keep was re-roofed and re-floored in the late 20th century.

As it stood in 1190
The shape it held in its prime.
Built of pale Magnesian limestone on a rocky spur, the castle presents a low ring of ruined curtain wall and round mural towers encircling an oval inner bailey, with a much taller, cylindrical stone keep to one side. The keep rises about four storeys and is reinforced by six massive vertical buttresses that give it a lobed silhouette; narrow slit windows puncture the thick walls and a crenellated parapet tops the tower. The site sits above steep grassy banks and open valley.
