	Britannia: English Castles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Where possible, reference is made to existing castles within a comfortable day's journey of London so that the visitor who wishes to view a selection of English castles, but has limited time at his or her disposal, need not travel far from the capital.
		Castles were primarily the residences of the nobility and the gentry and the life lived in them was very much akin to that of the later country house.
		Motte and bailey castles came in a variety of configurations but the most common was a single mound and enclosure, with the motte at one end of the bailey and separated from it by its ditch.

	Montana DEQ Castle Mountains Mining District
		The Castle Mountains, named for the striking reddish rock formations near the town of Castle, are "a domal uplift formed by the intrusion of the Castle granite and Robinson diorite into folded Proterozoic (Belt), Paleozoic, [and] Mesozoic strata" (Sahinen 1935).
		One was manganese iron ore that was used as a flux, while the other contained gold with assay values ranging widely from $6 to $2000 a ton.
		Following the closure of most mines in the Castle Mountain district in 1893, the Great Eastern was back in operation in 1897, employing 25 miners and 9 topmen; ore was sent to the smelter in East Helena.

	Brigantes Nation Almondbury
		This was the building which burned down and it is regarded as one of Yorkshire's most important early Iron Age hill forts, it is one of Yorkshires true multi-valet hill forts and gives the impression of a tribal capital of a significant region, given the lack of similar hill forts in the region.
		Castle Hill is a striking natural landmark nearly 1,000 feet (300m) high, covering some eight acres (3.2 ha) and surrounded by very steep slopes.
		This type of castle was built by the Normans to ensure their security and to impose control over the area.

	Cadbury Castle
		The castle - which covers an area of 18 acres - is a hillfort that had periods of broken occupation and use from the Iron Age to the reign of Ethelred II (Ethelred the Unready).
		It is possible that the castle served as a focal point for the leaders of the tribe, and may have been as close to what is now a capital.
		In legend Cadbury Castle is the site of Camelot, and one of the hills under which Arthur and his men are said to sleep awaiting the allotted time to fight for the nation once again.

		In a second story, surveying the estate from the castle tower, a lord’s young daughter reflects upon living in the castle and how her early years of training were preparation for a forthcoming, arranged marriage.
		The castle was a structure that combined many bastions, which commanded all the parts of the fortress, and contained a variety of sections that could be defended separately.
		She was glad that her father was the lord of the castle so that she didn’t have to toil in the fields; she knew from the servant girls that it was backbreaking work, endless and dirty.

		There is an inturned entrance on the west and a curved outer earthwork protecting the gate on the east.
		Traces of huts and storage pits have been noted on AP's, and Iron Age jewelry and chariot fittings have been found within the enclosure.
		The ridgeway follows the edge of the downs and passes below the fort to the N. A small hoard of metalwork including reaping hooks, knives, spear-heads and a 'nave band', were originally dated to around 200-50BC, but re-examination has suggested that a later dating perhaps to the early-1st century cannot be ruled out.

	Crookston Castle
		Crookston Castle was one of the most fascinating castles, not because of size, it was rather small, but because I and my brother-in-law were the only ones in it.
		The castle is unfurnished so there is nothing to steal.
		We enjoyed climbing all over the castle even up on the roof, the only problem being I must be a lot bigger than the original inhabitants since I got stuck in the portal to the roof.

		Castles held out as long as provisions could be brought by ship.

	GENUKI: Slaters Commercial Directory, Cardiff, Glamorgan, 1880
		During the civil wars of the Royalists and Roundheads, the castle was besieged by a force under Oliver Cromwell in 1648, and after three days' unsuccessful bombardment, admission was obtained, by the aid of a traitor, through a subterraneous passage.
		The entrance to the castle is by the southern gateway, alongside which is a fine tower, known as Curthose tower.
		Up to 1798 coal and iron were brought from Merthyr and Aberdare on the backs of mules, but the year mentioned witnessed the opening of the Glamorgan canal, a continuous water communication from Merthyrto Cardiff, 24 miles long.
