Castle Hill is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Hampshire, England. The site comprises a substantial mound with an associated bailey, typical of Norman fortifications constructed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries following the Norman Conquest of 1066. Castle Hill demonstrates the characteristic defensive layout of early medieval military architecture, with the elevated motte providing a commanding position over the surrounding landscape. The earthwork survives as a significant example of Norman castle engineering in Hampshire, though no substantial stone structures remain from the period of its occupation.
