Aslackby Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Lincolnshire, England, dating to the Norman period following the Conquest of 1066. The site consists of a substantial earthen mound with an adjoining bailey, characteristic of early medieval military architecture employed across England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Like many comparable examples, the castle likely served as a local stronghold for a Norman lord, though its precise construction date and the identity of its founder remain uncertain. The earthworks survive as significant topographical features in the landscape, providing evidence of the widespread pattern of Norman fortification across the East Midlands in the decades following 1066.
