Castle Hill motte and bailey, Halton, is a Norman fortified earthwork located in Lancashire, England. The monument comprises a substantial motte or artificial mound with an associated bailey, representing the typical defensive arrangement of the early Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The site demonstrates the military and administrative control established by Norman lords across northern England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Such motte and bailey castles served as centres of local power before the development of more substantial stone fortifications in later medieval periods.
