}}Bury Castle near Brompton Regis in the English county of Somerset was an Iron Age univallate hillfort which was reused with the creation of a motte after the Norman Conquest. It has been scheduled as an ancient monument.[1]

Iron Age fort

It is an oval enclosure just above the confluence of the River Haddeo and River Exe.[1] It is approximately {{convert|120|yd}} long and {{convert|80|yd}} wide.[2]

Medieval period

In the late 1130s, a civil war, known as the Anarchy, broke out in England between the supporters of King Stephen and the Empress Matilda. A motte and bailey castle was built on the Bury Castle side, probably by William de Say.[3] In 1198 Richard I confirmed that Brompton should be part of the inheritance of Matilda.[4]

The motte measures {{convert|23|m|ft|0}} and was placed on the southern tip of the promontory, with the bailey beyond around {{convert|60|m|ft|0}} across.[3][5]
