Castle Hill is a scheduled ancient monument located near Almondbury in West Yorkshire, England. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a substantial motte-and-bailey castle, dating to the Norman period, likely established in the eleventh or twelfth century. The monument consists of a prominent mound with associated defensive ditches and banks that once supported timber or stone fortifications, representing a significant example of early medieval castle architecture in Yorkshire. The site's elevated position provided strategic control over the surrounding landscape and demonstrates the Norman establishment of feudal power structures in the region following the Conquest.
