Totnes Castle, Devon. The shell keep on its motte.

            This is an early form of Norman shell keep, akin to that at Restormal close by and Lewis in West Sussex. The keep sits atop its motte, this is in turn defended by a wall dividing it off from the rest of the mound. The town hugs the base of the motte, giving the high street its curve. The town was further protected by a wall with gates, like so many others, Conwy in Wales for example.
