Fotheringhay Castle Site in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire is an impressive Norman stone motte and bailey fortress. The large motte is partly surrounded by a wide wet trench and holds the foundations for a D-shaped polygonal donjon. Inside are the hidden foundations of a great hall and domestic ranges. A copious ditched outer bailey, once protected by a gatehouse and a lake, twists northwards from the bridge to the mill stream. Unfortunately this once imposing structure, famous for where King Richard III was born back in 1452, and was also the execution place of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1587, has been demolished.
