This black commemorative plaque records: CASTLE GATE The remains of the Drum Towers flanking the principal gateway to Southampton's medieval castle were discovered through archaeological excavations in 1961. The castle itself formerly stood on the site now occupied by a 20th century block of twelve storey flats. The twin Drum Towers, now partially restored, were added to the defensive bailey wall of the Royal Castle during the late 14th century and were originally over 20ft high. Recorded plaque organisation: County Borough of Southampton.
