Castle Tump is a motte-and-bailey castle located in Worcestershire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork comprising a mound with a surrounding ditch, characteristic of Norman military architecture from the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site represents a form of fortification typical of the period following the Norman Conquest, when such castles served as centres of military control and administrative authority in their localities. The earthwork survives as a significant example of medieval defensive architecture, preserving evidence of the Norman settlement and consolidation of power in the English Midlands.
