Cothill Tump is a motte castle situated approximately 500 metres north-west of Cothill Farm in Herefordshire. The monument comprises a substantial earthwork mound typical of Norman military architecture, dating to the medieval period, likely established in the eleventh or twelfth century. The tump represents a form of fortification common in post-Conquest England, when such earth-and-timber structures served as administrative and defensive centres across the Welsh border region. The site remains visible as a prominent landscape feature and survives as an important example of early medieval military settlement in Herefordshire.
