Castleton castle mound is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in North Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, constructed during the 11th or 12th century following the Norman Conquest. The site represents an important example of early medieval fortification strategy, when such earthen strongholds served as administrative and military centres across the northern landscape. The physical remains, though reduced by time and land use, retain archaeological significance for understanding Norman settlement patterns and the evolution of castle design in Yorkshire.
