Holm Castle is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Gloucestershire. The site consists of an artificial mound with surrounding defensive ditches characteristic of Norman fortifications dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. Like many such works constructed in the period following the Norman Conquest, it represents a significant example of early medieval military architecture adapted to the English landscape. The earthwork survives as an upstanding monument, preserving evidence of the feudal settlement patterns and territorial control established during the Norman period.
