Trowbridge Castle was a castle in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.[1] It is thought to have been a motte-and-bailey castle, and its influence can still be seen in the town today. Fore Street follows the path of the castle ditch,[2] and town has a Castle Street and the Castle Place Shopping Centre.
The only surviving ruins are a ditch along Fore Street and a possible fragment of curtain wall found in 1986.
