What is recorded here
Somerset keeps seven castles alive, from Dunster’s three stone walls on the East Cliff to Daws Castle beside old Roman steps. They are not dead relics; they host weddings, art, training and memory. Roger de Montgomery, Queen Isabella, Simon de Montfort and later owners all left marks behind. The county still moves through them, changing what strength, love and loss can build.
Castles is shown as a archaeological place on the public map of Somerset. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
