Cothill Tump is a motte castle situated approximately 500 metres north-west of Cothill Farm in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork mound typical of Norman military architecture, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest of 1066. Such mottes served as defensive strongholds and symbols of feudal authority across the English landscape during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of early medieval fortification strategies in the Welsh Marches region.
