Castle Hill is a motte-and-bailey castle located in Cambridgeshire, England, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The earthwork comprises a substantial mound, characteristic of early Norman fortifications, with associated bailey enclosure, representing a typical defensive structure of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Though no substantial masonry survives, the earthwork itself demonstrates the military engineering practices of the Norman settlement period in East Anglia. The site remains an important archaeological record of early medieval fortification strategy in the region.
