Cranmore Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortress located in Devon, England, dating to the Norman period following the Conquest of 1066. The monument comprises an earthwork mound with an associated bailey, representing a typical early medieval military stronghold of the eleventh or twelfth century. Such castles served as centres of local authority and defence during the Norman settlement of southwest England. The site survives as an archaeological earthwork, preserving evidence of the castle's original defensive layout and construction method.
