Bromwich Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Warwickshire, England, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The site consists of an earthen mound topped by a timber or stone structure, characteristic of early medieval military architecture, with an associated bailey or defended enclosure. Though now substantially ruined, the earthwork remains visible in the modern landscape and represents an important example of Norman settlement and defensive strategy in the English Midlands. The castle would have served administrative and military functions for the local lordship during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
