Triermain Castle is a fourteenth-century enclosure castle situated in Cumberland, England. The monument comprises earthwork remains consisting of a substantial ditched enclosure that represents a modest fortified residence of the medieval period. The site reflects the defensive and domestic requirements of a minor noble or gentry family during the later Middle Ages, typical of such ringwork or enclosure castle forms found across northern England. Its earthwork construction, rather than substantial stonework, indicates the limited resources or regional building traditions characteristic of this locality and period.
