Binbury motte and bailey castle is a Norman fortification located in Kent, England, dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. The monument consists of the characteristic two-part earthwork design typical of early Norman military architecture, comprising a raised mound with an associated bailey or outer enclosure. The site represents an important example of the type of fortified settlement established by Norman lords following the Conquest to assert control over the English landscape. Though now surviving only as earthworks, the castle would have served both defensive and administrative functions within its local territorial context.
