Rougemont Castle
Rougemont Castle (Exeter Castle) is the historic Norman castle built into the northern corner of Exeter's Roman city walls from about 1068. Its principal surviving medieval feature is a large red-sandstone early Norman gatehouse and associated stretches of curtain wall and corner turret. The site originally formed a roughly square enclosure with inner and outer baileys and contained a chapel and service buildings within the walls.

As it stood in 1200
The shape it held in its prime.
At its prime the castle presented a massive red-brown volcanic sandstone gatehouse built into the northern angle of the Roman city wall, with lighter ashlar dressings on arches and quoins. A roughly square curtain walled enclosure extended from the gate, bonded into the older city wall and punctuated by corner turrets (including the western Athelstan's Tower). The gatehouse upper storey shows paired triangular-headed window openings above a large semicircular external arch; ditches and an outer bailey lay beyond the walls.
