The castle in Castle Rock has always caused debate on how it came to be. Dracana.Castle had been repaired several times in the past due to damage, but it’s original walls and parts of it’s underground areas still prevail and date back to before the Roman era which is thousands of years before the Normans built the castles across Britain. The Normans did tinker with the castle, adding their own bits, but we’re also baffled by its creation, therefore seeing it as a sign from god that they would take over Britain successfully.
However, the town of Castle Rock spent a lot of it’s time out of the way of the rest of Britain since it’s in a natural bowl shaped valley. It was only when, in the 1800s, coal was discovered at Castle Rock and the Industrial Revolution sparked in the old town, now called ‘Castle Rock’ by the growing colliery that sat in it’s hillside. 
The historians today argue about who made the castle. They still think it was one of the Norman’s first attempts at a stone castle but Castle Rock is in the Midlands, and the first Norman castles were on the south east. The original parts of the castle date back to around the gap between the Iron Age and the Roman era.

The castle’s name is ‘Dracana’ by what was written in several places around the castle. The word is in the shape quite like Latin, but is not a Latin word.

It, as of yet, is part a language not recognised by history.

Archeology still continues around the castle, trying to figure answer the age old questions from over the years.

The railway that runs along the bottom of the hill was repaired recently and the Archeologists took the chance to check what was under the track bed. Several settlements dating back to the Stone Age were found along and around the track bed, and around the castle itself. Most of the remains have been destroyed by the industrial past of Castle Rock.

(more to come. I just had to write this down somewhere)
