A motte and bailey castle was erected in 1066 and the keep was rebuilt in stone 1100. The walls are mainly Roman though they were repaired in the 14th century. They were allowed to decay in the 17th century. The motte, known as Dane John, is still visible and the lower half of the keep still remains. Parts of the city wall are visible, on the eastern side, as well as the city's West Gate.
