Astwell Castle Farm is a scheduled ancient monument in Northamptonshire comprising the remains of a medieval fortified settlement. The site contains earthwork evidence of a motte-and-bailey castle of Norman origin, along with associated settlement features including ridge-and-furrow cultivation patterns that testify to medieval agricultural use. The uninhabited portions preserve substantial archaeological deposits and structural remains that document occupation spanning the medieval period, offering valuable evidence of the evolution of a defended lordly residence and its surrounding landscape. The monument's preservation as earthworks rather than standing masonry makes it an important resource for understanding medieval settlement patterns and fortification design in the East Midlands.
