Baynard's Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in Middlesex, England, dating to the late eleventh century. The castle was established by the Baynard family, prominent Norman nobles, and served as an important military and residential stronghold in the medieval period. The monument consists of an earthwork mound with associated bailey defences, representing a characteristic form of early Norman fortification in England. The site remains significant as evidence of Norman settlement patterns and the feudal control of the Thames valley during the post-Conquest period.
