City. Plympton Castle is the remains of what was once a motte-and-bailey fortification built in the early twelfth century. What remains is the stone keep of what must’ve been the motte. Oddly there’s no secondary mound for the bailey despite walking all around and the motte was definitely too small for any sort of settlement. Given it’s prominent location, it’s no surprise to learn that this fortification has seen many battles from the 9th to to 14th century by the Saxons, Normans, Angevins and Plantagenet. Don’t you just love history?
Plympton is a suburb of the city of Plymouth in Devon, England. It is in origin an ancient stannary town. It was an important trading centre for locally mined tin, and a seaport before the River Plym silted up and trade moved down river to Plymouth and was the seat of Plympton Priory the most significant local landholder for many centuries.

Plympton is an amalgamation of several villages, including St Mary's, St Maurice, Colebrook, Woodford, Newnham, Langage and Chaddlewood.
