As one of the castle types iscastrum 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:castle_type%3Dcastrum&action=edit&redlink=1>  .. a Roamn castle .. and they predate the middle ages ..

I would simply tag it as

historic=castle
castle_type=middle_ages

And then fully document the castle_type used. As no other castle_type is documented, it would be a first.
