Folkingham Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in the village of Folkingham in Lincolnshire, England. The castle was constructed in the late eleventh or early twelfth century and consists of a substantial mound with a bailey, representing a typical example of early Norman defensive architecture in the East Midlands. The motte survives as an impressive earthwork, though no substantial masonry structures remain visible on the site today. The castle likely served as a local administrative and defensive centre during the medieval period, though it appears to have been abandoned or superseded relatively early in its history.
