Cheswardine Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in Shropshire, England. The castle consists of a substantial earthen mound with an associated bailey, typical of early Norman defensive architecture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. A linear bank, likely representing defensive or boundary earthworks associated with the castle complex, extends from the main fortification. The site represents an important example of Norman settlement and military control in the Welsh borderlands during the medieval period.
