Castle Cob is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Cheshire, England, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The monument consists of a substantial mound, or motte, which would originally have supported a wooden or stone fortification, accompanied by an associated bailey or defended enclosure. Such structures were characteristic of early Norman settlement and military control in England, serving as administrative centres and strongholds. The earthwork survives as a significant example of early medieval military architecture in the Cheshire landscape.
