Castle Hill is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Nottinghamshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthen mound with associated bailey defences, typical of Norman fortifications constructed in the decades following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The site represents an important example of early medieval military architecture and settlement hierarchy in the East Midlands region. Like many such castles, it may have served administrative and defensive functions for the local Norman lords during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
