Clungunford motte castle is a Norman fortification situated approximately ninety metres north-east of St Cuthbert's Church in Shropshire. The site comprises a substantial motte with a surrounding ditch, representing a typical form of early medieval military architecture constructed during the Norman period following the eleventh century. The earthwork remains visible as a prominent raised mound, demonstrating the strategic importance placed upon this location during the early post-Conquest period.
