Castle Hills is a motte-and-bailey castle located in Suffolk, England, dating to the Norman period following the Conquest of 1066. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a mound with an associated bailey, typical of early Norman defensive architecture constructed in timber rather than stone. The site represents an important example of the rapid fortification of the English landscape undertaken by Norman lords in the decades after 1066, serving both military and administrative functions within the feudal settlement of conquered territory. Castle Hills survives as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of Norman military engineering and the establishment of aristocratic power in medieval East Anglia.
