The first stone castle built in Britain was the Tower of London in 1078 thou castles existed much earlier in Europe but as they sprung up so fast and historical records from this era are not very detailed it is hard to pinpoint the first castle.

The stone castle and keep origionated in France but the motte and bailey had been in use much earlier and iron age hill forts are even seen as precursors to that.
