Castle Mound is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Gloucestershire, England. The site represents a form of fortification characteristic of the Norman period following the Conquest of 1066, when such structures were rapidly constructed across England to establish military control and administrative authority. The monument comprises a substantial artificial mound, typical of motte-and-bailey design, which would originally have supported a wooden or stone defensive structure. Though the specific historical record of Castle Mound's construction and use remains limited in detailed documentation, its physical form places it within the established tradition of early medieval military architecture in the West Midlands region.
