Betchworth Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification situated in Surrey, England, founded in the eleventh century following the Norman Conquest. The castle comprises a substantial earthwork mound surrounded by a ditch, with evidence of timber and later stone defences that have largely disappeared. The site remained in use throughout the medieval period and was later adapted as a domestic residence during the post-medieval era. Today the mound and surrounding earthworks survive as significant archaeological remains, demonstrating the characteristic defensive architecture of early Norman settlement in southern England.
