Unfortunately obvious historic=castle fails - as it is defined and
used as "(often fortified) buildings from medieval and modern times"
and includes nearly everything - for example "Representative building
without functional defenses.". (see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dcastle ).
this is an old question, at its time the initial solution was castle_type=burg
but didn't find the appreciation of everyone due to being a German word
(although apparently used by historians also in English).
I think the intention is to use "defensive" now:

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.
