Beaudesert Castle is a motte and bailey castle situated in Warwickshire, England, representing a form of fortification characteristic of the Norman period following the Conquest of 1066. The monument comprises an earthwork mound with its associated bailey, alongside two fishponds which form part of the wider manorial complex. The site demonstrates the typical layout of early medieval aristocratic settlement, combining military defence with the agricultural and economic infrastructure necessary to sustain a feudal estate. The survival of both the castle earthworks and the pond features provides evidence of the spatial organisation and resource management practices of the medieval period.
