Okehampton Castle is a medieval motte and bailey castle in Devon England. It was built between 1068 and 1086 by Baldwin FitzGilbert following a revolt in Devon against Norman rule and formed the centre of the Honour of Okehampton guarding a crossing point across the West Okement River. It continued in use as a fortification until the late 13th century when its owners the de Courtenays became the Earls of Devon.
