Court Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Devon, England, dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The monument consists of an earthwork mound with an attached bailey, representing a typical fortification type employed by Norman settlers to establish control over newly conquered territories. The site's precise location and surviving earthwork features have been documented within the National Heritage List for England, where it is recorded under entry 1016226. Such castles served both defensive and administrative functions, though Court Castle has not been extensively excavated or developed as a major baronial stronghold like some of its contemporaries.
