Consibrough Castle. Knight with a Voulge a pole mounted slicing axe. Single edged blade Conisbrough Castle is a 12th-century castle in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, England. The main feature is a 97-foot () high circular keep, which is supported by six buttresses. In the mid-1990s, the keep was restored, with a wooden roof and two floors being rebuilt. The name Conisbrough is derived from the Old English Cyningesburh - meaning 'the defended burh of the King', suggesting the area once belonged to one of the English kings, prior to the Norman Conquest. The area, strategically placed on one of few historic crossings of the River Don, has been home to a fortification since at least 600 AD
