Bledisloe Tump Bledisloe Tump was a castle in the village of Awre in Gloucestershire , England . The first castle on the site was built in the 11th or early 12th century and was a simple timber structure .

A later mound , 60 ft wide and 7 ft high was also constructed on the site , and it is suspected that this may have been an unfinished motte . It is possible that this was built during the period of the Anarchy in the 12th century , and one theory is that the castle was destroyed by Henry II after the conflict as part of a wider programme of castle denigration in Gloucestershire during the 1150s . The site was later used for meetings of the local Hundred of Bledisloe , and another theory for the creation of the mound is that it was specifically made to support these meetings . A manor house , Bledisloe Manor , was later built on the site , and the remaining earthworks were destroyed during the 1970s .
