Odiham Castle
Odiham Castle (also called King John's Castle) is a medieval royal castle near Odiham in Hampshire, England, begun under King John from 1207. At its height it comprised a three-storey octagonal stone keep, inner and outer moats and two moated baileys with associated domestic buildings. Today the site is a ruin: only part of the octagonal keep and earthworks are visible and the site is open to the public.

As it stood in 1239
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact castle dominated by a three-storey octagonal stone keep of pale flint-rubble, set within a concentric defence of an inner round moat and an outer square moat with two moated baileys. Raised earth banks and wooden palisades ring the baileys; the keep has regularly spaced arched openings and small square embrasures in its face. Domestic ranges and service buildings bridge and overhang the inner moat; the whole sits beside a bend in the River Whitewater.
