Lindsey Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle located in Suffolk, England. The site comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a raised mound with an associated bailey, characteristic of eleventh-century defensive architecture. The castle dates to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066 and represents the type of fortified settlement established by Norman lords across England during the consolidation of their rule. The earthwork remains largely intact, preserving important evidence of early medieval military and administrative organisation in East Anglia.
