Brandon Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortress situated in Warwickshire, England. The monument comprises an earthwork consisting of a raised mound, or motte, accompanied by an associated bailey, representing a characteristic form of Norman defensive architecture dating to the medieval period. The site reflects the military organisation of post-Conquest England, when such fortifications served as centres of local authority and control. The earthwork survives as a substantial landscape feature, preserving evidence of early medieval settlement and fortification practices in the region.
