Hayes Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Cumberland, England. The earthwork monument comprises a substantial mound with associated bailey, typical of Norman defensive architecture from the eleventh or twelfth century. The site represents an important example of early medieval castle fortification in the north of England, a region where such structures played a crucial role in establishing Norman control following 1066. The castle's earthworks remain substantially visible, preserving evidence of the strategic landscape management undertaken during the Anglo-Norman period.
