Trowbridge Castle

The only surviving ruins are a ditch along Fore Street and a possible fragment of curtain wall found in 1986.

[1] Within Trowbridge Castle was a 10th-century Anglo-Saxon church, which no longer exists today.

By the 14th century, it was no longer used as a fort, and by the time John Leland visited in 1540, it was in ruins.

[3] In 1875 Canon Jones made a detailed plan and description of the remains of the castle, noting that fragments of the ditch, tower and ramparts were extant.

The ditch along Fore Street was successfully located in 1988, although nowadays it is hard to spot.
