Southampton's town walls are a sequence of defensive structures built around the town in southern England. Although earlier Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlements around Southampton had been fortified with walls or ditches, the later walls originate with the move of the town to the current site in the 10th century. This new town was defended by banks, ditches and the natural curve of the river and coastline. The Normans built a castle in Southampton but made no attempts to improve the wider defences of the town until the early 13th century, when Southampton's growing prosperity as a trading centre and conflict with France encouraged the construction of a number of gatehouses and stone walls to the north and east sides of the settlement.

  • Southampton hiriko harresiak ingalaterra hegoaldeko herriaren inguruan eraiki ziren defentsa-egiturak dira. Southampton inguruko erromatar eta anglosaxoien kokalekuak gotorlekuak harresiz edo hobiz gotortu ziren arren, geroko harresiaren jatorrira iritsi zen X. mendean hiria egungo gunera mugitu zutenean. Hiri berri hau ibaiertzek, hobiek eta ibaien eta kostaldeko kurba naturalek defendatu zuten. Normandiarrek Southamptongo gaztelua eraiki zuten baina ez zuten herriaren defentsarik zabalena hobetzeko asmorik egin XIII. mendearen hasierara arte, Southampton-en oparotasuna merkataritza-zentro gisa eta Frantziarekin gatazka izan zenean, ateak eta harrizko hormak eraiki zituzten iparraldeko eta ekialdeko kokalekuaren aldeetan.
