Brimpsfield Castle mound is a Norman motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Gloucestershire, England. The site comprises a substantial mound with surrounding defensive ditches, representing a typical example of early Norman military architecture dating to the late eleventh or twelfth century. The castle was constructed by the de Brimpsfield family, who held lands in the region during the medieval period. Today the earthwork survives as a prominent archaeological feature, though any superstructure that once crowned the mound has been lost to time.
