This is an interesting over view of this castle, however I was waiting to hear something about the long low lying area with white fence around it on one side of the castle, but didn't anytjing about it . What was that for originally? It looks to be a shadow of its former self.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 I assume you are talking about the western bailey, not loads is known about it, it would have been and additional area pre the norman stone keep, but when the stone keep and eastern stone walls were built it was not as far as m aware upgrades. So would have just been a wooden pallisade and other structures
@@CrazyAboutCastles-ly5pw I wasn't very clear in my question. I was referring to what looks like a long stone structure above and parallel to the castle in the inner bailey. And it has a low white fence around it.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 odd i definitely wrote about it, i must have somehow forgotten to put it into the video, forgive me it was one of my earlier videos, but it is an old Norman church which predates the castle and wasn't actually discovered until the 19th century when excavated as it was well buried, built roughly in the year 1100. I have mentioned it a few times in my full castle blog page here... crazyaboutcastles.com/english-castles/castle-rising-castle/ probably quite a few things i missed in my blog post as i was trying to keep videos shorter.
@@CrazyAboutCastles-ly5pw Its all good. I appreciated your video. I am very interested in these early castles as well as cathedrals and churches in England. I hope to return some day soon.

Berkeley castle keep is much better than this.
Not to worry I have a long list of sites to get done, it will come
It might be a better keep than castle rising,but it costs £16 pounds to get in the place.
