    The time line for the castle is this - 1) Iron age hill fort, 2) Roman fortlet built around the Pharos, 3) Saxon fort or burgh. 4) pre conquest norman 'castle' - wooden motte and bailey type. 5) post conquest norman castle, wooden motte and bailey type. 6) New castle built in stone before the demolishing of the wooden castle, so two castles on site. 7) Wooden castle go's, 'our' castle remains.
    Pre conquest castles in England are - Hereford, Richard's castle, Ewyas Harold, all in Herefordshire, and Clavering in Essex. Dover maybe number 5 as the anglosaxon chronicles states quite clearly that Williams troops went up to the burgh at Dover, and that later they spent eight days refortifieing it.
