Brampton Motte (Castle)

Brampton Motte (Castle) is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Cumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Brampton Motte, also known as Brampton Castle, is a medieval earthwork dating to the 12th or 13th century, associated with the de Brus (Bruce) family, ancestors of Robert the Bruce of Scotland. It is important as a rare surviving example of a motte-and-bailey castle in the region, reflecting early feudal military architecture and the historical ties between northern England and Scotland.
