Aslackby Castle is a late medieval motte-and-bailey castle located in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of a substantial earthwork mound with surrounding defensive ditches, representing a typical fortification of the 12th or 13th century. The castle was constructed during a period of significant feudal settlement and land management in the East Midlands, serving as both a defensive stronghold and a focal point for local administration. Though the structure no longer retains significant stonework or upstanding masonry, the earthwork remains a well-preserved example of medieval castle architecture in the region.
