Castle Frome is a motte-and-bailey castle located in the parish of Castle Frome in Herefordshire. The site consists of a substantial earthwork comprising a raised mound with an associated bailey, typical of Norman defensive architecture dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. The castle represents an example of early post-Conquest fortification, reflecting the Norman settlement and military organisation of the Welsh border region. Though largely surviving as earthworks rather than masonry structures, the site remains an important archaeological monument documenting the period of Norman expansion into the Marches.
