Lindsey Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in Suffolk, England. The site consists of a substantial earthwork mound surrounded by defensive ditches, characteristic of early Norman military architecture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The castle represents a typical example of the widespread fortification programme undertaken by Norman lords following the conquest of 1066, serving both defensive and administrative functions for the local feudal holding. The earthworks remain substantially preserved, providing archaeological evidence of early medieval settlement patterns and Norman territorial organisation in East Anglia.
