Hamilton Low Parks Motte is a Medieval motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Lanarkshire, Scotland, dating to the Norman period, likely the twelfth century. The monument consists of a substantial mound typical of motte construction, which would have supported a timber or stone palisade and domestic structures serving as a fortified stronghold. Such mottes were characteristic of Norman settlement and consolidation of authority in southern Scotland during the medieval period, representing an important phase of feudal expansion following the Norman settlement of lowland areas. The site's survival as an earthwork provides evidence of early medieval military and administrative control in the Hamilton locality.
