King's Hill is a motte and bailey castle situated in Lincolnshire, England. The site consists of an earthwork mound typical of Norman fortifications constructed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, representing the common defensive architecture of the post-Conquest period. Like other examples of this castle form, King's Hill would have comprised a raised mound with an associated bailey, or defended enclosure, which served as a stronghold for local lordship during the medieval period. The monument survives as an archaeological earthwork and remains a significant record of Norman settlement and military organisation in the East Midlands.
