Bradwell Castle Mound is a motte and bailey castle located approximately 80 metres north-east of St. Lawrence's Church in Buckinghamshire. The monument comprises an earthwork fortification typical of Norman military architecture, with a raised mound (motte) designed to support a timber or stone structure and an associated bailey, or defended enclosure. Such castles were established in England following the Norman Conquest of 1066, and Bradwell's earthworks represent the defensive strategies employed during the medieval period. The site remains substantially preserved as an archaeological monument, providing evidence of Norman settlement and fortification patterns in the region.
