Castle Hill Motte is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Warwickshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial earthen mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, likely constructed in the late eleventh or twelfth century following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The site represents an important example of early medieval fortification strategy, wherein a raised mound provided a commanding position for timber or stone structures overlooking the surrounding landscape and settlement. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological record of Norman settlement and territorial control in the Midlands during the medieval period.
