Castle Hill is a motte-and-bailey castle located in Lancashire, England, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The site comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a raised mound with an associated bailey, representing a typical early Norman fortification of the eleventh or twelfth century. The castle's strategic positioning reflects the Norman colonisation of northern England and the establishment of defensive strongholds across the region during this transformative period. Though now surviving only as earthworks, Castle Hill remains an important archaeological monument testament to the Norman settlement and military organisation of medieval Lancashire.
