   Plympton Castle, a motte-and-bailey castle, is a prime example of Norman architectural ingenuity. The castle's design, featuring a central mound (motte) with a wooden or stone keep atop and a fortified courtyard (bailey), showcases the strategic military thinking of the time.

   Is Plympton Castle overgrown?

   • Bit overgrown on way up. Plympton Castle is the remains of what was once a motte-and-bailey fortification built in the early twelfth century. What remains is the stone keep of what must’ve been the motte. Oddly there’s no secondary mound for the bailey despite walking all around and the motte was definitely too small for any sort of settlement.
