Castle Toot is a motte and bailey castle situated near Mawleytown Farm in Shropshire. The monument comprises a substantial mound characteristic of Norman fortifications, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest of 1066. Such earthwork castles were typical of early Norman settlement and control of the English landscape, serving both defensive and administrative functions in the years following 1066. The site's survival as an earthwork, without stone structures, is representative of the majority of Norman castles constructed in England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
