Cheveley Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located northwest of Old Hall Farm in Cambridgeshire, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The monument comprises an earthen mound with an associated bailey, representing a type of defensive structure commonly erected across England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries to consolidate Norman control. The castle's earthworks remain visible as archaeological features, though substantial stone structures do not survive from this period. Such fortifications served as administrative and military centers for the Norman lords establishing their authority in the English landscape.
