Norwich Castle

"On the west side of the Wensum river, which bounded the old city on the north and east, a hill rises from Bracondale towards Ber Street following the centre of its slope, until at the summit there is a steep crest which has been scarped around, and from which the descent is precipitous, entailing steps in the streets on the north and west sides. Here was the great stronghold of the Iceni, the valiant opponents of the Romans in the time of Nero ; they in all probability formed the circular rampart on the hill with the mound, upon which, a thousand years after, the Normans reared the present castle." Extract from "The Castles of England" (Internet Archive)
