		Conisbrough Castle is a castle in the town of Conisbrough near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England ().
		The remains of the 12th century castle are dominated by the 100 ft high circular keep, which is supported by six buttresses.
		The name Conisbrough is thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon Cyningesburh - meaning 'the defended burh of the King', suggesting the area once belonged to one of the Anglo-Saxon kings, prior to the Norman Conquest.
