Elmley Castle is a Norman castle situated near Pershore in Worcestershire. The site comprises the earthwork remains of a motte-and-bailey fortification, with the motte surviving as a substantial raised mound that once supported a timber or stone tower. The castle was established in the Norman period following the conquest of 1066 and represents a typical example of the military architecture employed by the Norman settlers to consolidate their control over the English landscape. The earthworks remain largely intact and form an important archaeological record of early medieval defensive settlement in the region.
