Court Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Devon, England, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The site consists of an earthwork comprising a substantial mound with an associated bailey, representing a typical form of early medieval fortification constructed during the initial phase of Norman settlement and land consolidation in the south-west. The monument survives as an archaeological earthwork, preserving evidence of early Norman military and administrative presence in the county. Its construction reflects the pattern of castle-building undertaken across Devon in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries as part of the broader Norman subjugation and reorganisation of English territory.
