Castle Hills is a motte and bailey castle situated approximately 700 metres north-east of St Mary and All Saints' Church near Wasperton in Warwickshire. The monument comprises a substantial mound with an associated bailey, representing a typical Norman fortification of the 11th or 12th century. The earthwork remains preserve the characteristic two-part structure of motte and bailey fortifications, with the mound forming the defensive strongpoint and the bailey providing an outer enclosure. Though now reduced to earthen ramparts, the site demonstrates the strategic settlement patterns of post-Conquest England and remains an important example of early medieval military architecture in the region.
