Conger Hill is a motte and bailey castle situated in Bedfordshire, England, and represents a typical example of Norman fortification dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. The monument consists of an artificial mound, or motte, accompanied by an adjoining bailey, a defended enclosure that would have been surrounded by a palisade or earthwork. Such structures were widely constructed across England following the Norman Conquest of 1066 and served as administrative and defensive strongholds for Norman lords during the early medieval period. The earthwork remains visible as an archaeological monument and is recorded under the National Heritage List for England.
