Brandon Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle located near Brandon in Warwickshire, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The site comprises a substantial earthen mound with an attached bailey, representing a typical example of early Norman fortification strategy in the English Midlands. The castle's earthworks remain substantially preserved, though no stone structures survive above ground, indicating it was likely constructed and occupied during the eleventh and twelfth centuries before being abandoned in favour of more developed settlements. The site demonstrates the importance of temporary fortified positions in establishing Norman control across the newly conquered territories of England.
