Glebe Cottage Motte is a medieval earthwork monument situated approximately thirty metres north-north-east of Glebe Cottage in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site comprises a motte, a characteristic raised defensive earthwork of the Norman period, which represents an important example of twelfth or thirteenth-century fortification strategy in the Scottish Highlands. The mound would originally have supported a wooden palisade and structure, serving as a stronghold for local lords during the medieval period. Such motted sites are relatively significant in the archaeological record of northern Scotland, where they mark early Norman or Anglo-Norman influence on settlement patterns and territorial control.
