Totnes Castle is one of the best preserved examples of a Norman motte and bailey castle in England.^[1] It is situated in the town of Totnes on the River Dart in Devon. The surviving stone keep and curtain wall date from around the 14th century. From after the Norman Conquest of 1066 it was the caput of the Feudal barony of Totnes.
