the appearance of pre norman england style castle the article notes giving it the appearance of pre norman england style castle sorry but i don't think it looks much like any pre norman fortification it could be argued that only the romans built substantial stone fortifications before the normans in england and in a very different style to this apart from that fortifications were built of timber castles in the medieval sense of the word were introduced to england by the normans so i am not sure what the expression pre norman england style castle means i think this is a romantic expression which needs removing
