Usk castle was built on the site of a Celtic iron-age
fort by Tristram Fitz Rolf the standard bearer
to William of Normandy (title Lord of Usk)
and Richard de Clare one of Williams knights.
(The Normans had reached Usk soon after the battle of Hastings 1066)

The Normans Firstly followed their standard practice of building a wooden Motte and Bailey fort until the local area could be secured. Late after the square stone keep was built around 1115 and modified continually
according to needs.
