Caple Tump is a motte and bailey castle situated approximately 175 metres south-west of Caple Court in Herefordshire. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork mound characteristic of Norman defensive works, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest. The site represents a typical example of the fortified settlements established across the English-Welsh borderlands during the 11th and 12th centuries, when such structures served to consolidate Norman authority in strategically significant locations. The mound survives as a prominent topographical feature, preserving evidence of early medieval military architecture in the form of its earthwork defences.
