Bramber Castle in 4k CRASH - Dji Mavic Air

Bramber Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle situated in the village of Bramber, West Sussex overlooking the River Adur. Despite very little surviving of the structure, the basic layout of some areas of Bramber Castle can still be identified. The most prominent feature is a large, rugged lump of stone masonry, all that remains of the Gatehouse tower. Still standing to almost its full height, a single window, and some floor joist holes, are clearly visible within the structure. Beyond the Gatehouse are the existing foundations of what is believed to have been the living quarters and a guardhouse. The dressed pillars of an entrance can be identified, but the bulk of the remaining walls now consist of only the basic rough stone infill, the better quality dressing stone having long since been robbed away for use elsewhere. Situated to the north of the gatehouse is the original castle motte, its earthen mound rising to a height of some 30 ft (10 m). A short distance away is a section of the curtain wall which survives to a height up to 10 ft (3 m) in places. There is also a small church, still in use today as the parish church, located directly next to the castle's entrance, which used to be a chapel for the castle's inhabitants.
