Castle Hills ringwork and bailey is a Norman fortification located in Lincolnshire, England. The monument comprises the characteristic earthwork defences of the late eleventh or twelfth century, consisting of a ringwork with an associated bailey, which represents a common form of early Norman military architecture in England following the Conquest. The site demonstrates the typical layout of such fortifications, with its raised defensive banks and ditches arranged to command the surrounding landscape. Such ringworks and baileys were often constructed rapidly as centres of manorial or administrative authority during the period of Norman settlement and consolidation in England.
