Cranmore Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Devon, England. The castle dates to the Norman period, likely established in the eleventh or twelfth century as part of the broader programme of castle construction following the Norman Conquest. The site comprises an earthwork mound with associated defensive ditches, representing a characteristic form of early medieval military architecture common to the period. Such fortifications served both military and administrative functions within the feudal landscape of post-Conquest Devon.
