It has been scheduled as an ancient monument.[1] HistoryHales Castle was built, probably in the years immediately after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, overlooking the town of Frome in the Mendip district of Somerset, England.[1] In addition to supporting the Norman control of the local town, it was also close to the River Frome and the Roman road running from Poole Harbour on to the town of Bath, both important lines of communication for the Normans.[2] The circular ringwork is {{convert|120|ft|m}} in diameter and stands on the northern slope of Roddenbury Hill, close to the Iron Age Roddenbury Hillfort. It comprises banks and outer ditches and has an unfinished bailey.[3] It covers an area of {{convert|0.11|ha}} and the bank is between {{convert|0.3|m}} and {{convert|1.2|m}} high.[4] There may have been a drawbridge at the entrance.[5] See also
