Freckenham Castle is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a substantial mound with surrounding ditched enclosure, characteristic of Norman fortifications constructed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Though now reduced to earthwork remains, the castle represents an important example of early medieval military architecture in East Anglia. The monument survives as a testament to the defensive strategies and feudal organisation of Norman England, and remains archaeologically significant for understanding settlement patterns and lordly power in the region during the medieval period.
