Duke of Bedford's Castle is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located near Castle Farm in Warwickshire. The monument comprises a substantial mound with an associated bailey, typical of Norman fortifications constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century. The site represents an important example of early medieval military architecture, reflecting the pattern of castle-building undertaken by Norman lords and their descendants across England following the Conquest. Though now reduced to earthwork remains, the castle's topographical prominence and structural form indicate its former strategic significance in the local landscape.
