Tiverton Castle is a Norman fortification founded in the early twelfth century by Henry de Braose, situated in Devon in south-western England. The castle comprises a motte and bailey earthwork with later stone additions, including a gatehouse and residential ranges built during the medieval period. The site remained in use and was modified throughout the Middle Ages, reflecting successive phases of fortification and domestic occupation. The surviving structures demonstrate the castle's evolution from its initial Norman foundation through subsequent medieval enlargements and alterations.
