Castle mound is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Sussex, England. The monument consists of a substantial artificial mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. Such mounds served as the elevated strongpoint of early medieval castles, providing strategic advantage and housing the lord's residence and principal defensive structures. The site represents an important phase in post-Conquest settlement patterns and demonstrates the Norman establishment of military control across the English landscape.
