The Jutes may have taken over the fort by the late 7th century. An Anglo-Saxon stronghold occupied the site during the 8th century. Around 1000, a wall was built around the hill as a defence against Viking raids.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6092083/1c20359e-b3ce-400d-bf47-c14048f5dee6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Carisbrooke Castle is a historic motte-and-bailey castle located in the village of Carisbrooke, near Newport, Isle of Wight, England.
