Castle Hill is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of an earthwork mound typical of Norman fortifications erected in the decades following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The castle was constructed to assert Norman military control over the surrounding territory during the early medieval period. Though the superstructure no longer survives, the substantial earthwork remains a significant example of 11th-century castle architecture and demonstrates the strategic importance of the location during the Norman settlement of England.
