This view from the shell keep on the top of the castle mound at Totnes shows the commanding position of this Normal defensive motte and bailey castle. Note the steep slope of the man-made mound constructed in the mid 12th century. See Image for a brief history of this site. The houses immediately below the mound are in Castle Street.
