Prudhoe Castle is a Norman castle founded in the late twelfth century on the north bank of the River Tyne in Northumberland. The castle is dominated by a substantial stone keep constructed around 1170–1180, which rises prominently above extensive defensive earthworks and curtain walls of later medieval date. The keep exemplifies Norman military architecture of the period, featuring thick walls and a commanding position over the river valley. The site remained an important baronial stronghold throughout the medieval period and its defensive structures demonstrate the evolution of English castle design from the Norman era through subsequent centuries.
