What is recorded here
Ashton Keynes Castle was a 12th-century ringwork built by the Keynes family, but its military life was short. The de Keynes soon turned the fortress into a manor, leaving behind floor tiles and pottery rather than battle scars. What remains are dilapidated earthworks and a spring-fed ditch, quiet proof that even strong walls must sometimes stop being strong and become home.
Ashton Keynes Castle is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Wiltshire. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
