Castle Hill is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Westmorland, England. The site comprises a substantial earthwork mound with associated defensive ditches, characteristic of Norman fortifications constructed during the 11th and 12th centuries. The monument represents a typical example of early medieval castle engineering, with its elevated motte providing a commanding position over the surrounding landscape. Although no substantial stone structures survive, the earthworks preserve important evidence of early Norman settlement and military organisation in the region.
