Marlborough Castle, locally known and recorded in historical documents as The Mound, was an 11th-century royal castle located in the civil parish of Marlborough, a market town in the English county of Wiltshire, on the Old Bath Road, the old main road from London to Bath (grid reference SU18376866). The barrow on which the fortification was built, perhaps the "barrow of Maerla", seems to be a prehistoric earthwork which formed the motte of the Norman Marlborough Castle. It survives as a tree-covered mound known as Marlborough Mound, within the site of Marlborough College.

  • Marlborough Castle, lokal auch The Mount genannt, ist eine Burgruine in der Pfarre Marlborough in der englischen Grafschaft Wiltshire an der Old Bath Road, der alten Hauptstraße von London nach Bath. Das Hügelgrab, auf dem die Festung im 11. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde, war vermutlich das „Hügelgrab von Maerla“, so bildete ein prähistorisches Erdwerk den Mound des normannischen Marlborough Castle. Heute ist davon nur ein baumbestandener Hügel im Zentrum des Marlborough College erhalten. (de)

  • Il Marlborough Castle, chiamato e talvolta registrato presso le cronache come The Mount era un castello appartenente alla corona dell'XI secolo che sorgeva presso l'omonima cittadina nel Wiltshire lungo la strada che collegava Londra con Bath. Il Tumulo sul quale sorse, forse il Tumulo di Maerla, sembra essere di origine preistorica e fornì la base per il Motta castrale su cui poi sorse il castello stesso. Attualmente quel che resta è un monticello coperto dagli alberi presso il Marlborough College. (it)
