	English Castles - Yarmouth Castle
		Yarmouth Castle was of a quite different style to many of Henry's previous forts, and would have been at the forefront of 'castle' design at the time of its commissioning.
		Whereas earlier structures, such as Deal Castle in Kent, generally took the form of a series of concentric circular bastions with a large circular keep at the centre, Yarmouth Castle was square in plan with a pointed 'arrow-head' bastion in the south-east corner.
		Yarmouth Castle was then used as a coastguard signalling station until 1901, and was utilised on a small scale during both world wars.

		One of the earliest is Dartmouth castle which is a simple square building, with a few square gun ports at floor level (the simple early guns being mounted on a wooden sledge rather than a wheeled carriage).
		Henry VIII had built several forts which were basically round with half round platforms for the guns attached (Deal castle is, arguably, the best surviving example) but the fashion for round artillery forts was very short and was soon replaced by forts with pointed bastions on which the guns where mounted.
