Tiverton Castle is a Norman fortification established in the early twelfth century by the de Braose family in Devon. The castle comprises a motte-and-bailey earthwork with surviving stone structures, including portions of the keep and curtain wall, which reflect successive phases of medieval development and reinforcement. The site remained an important aristocratic residence throughout the medieval period and saw military use during the English Civil War, after which it gradually declined. The castle survives today as substantial ruins within an earthwork enclosure, representing a significant example of Norman military architecture in the southwest of England.
