Description
The causeway walls to the northeast of Tamworth Castle date from the late 11th century, with later alterations and an early 19th-century addition. Constructed from stone rubble, they feature some dressed squared stone and herringbone masonry, particularly on the south side. The walls include a 19th-century embattled parapet, and the extension to Upper Lodge also has an embattled parapet. The walls extend approximately 28 meters to the east of the castle entrance and a further 17 meters along the north side adjoining Upper Lodge. These walls are an important remnant of the first stone castle on the site.
