Lingen Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortress located in Herefordshire, situated near the Welsh border. The castle was established in the Norman period, likely in the late eleventh century, as part of the defensive network constructed to control the Marcher territories. The site comprises an earthen motte surrounded by a bailey, with the castle strategically positioned to command the local landscape. Though now visible primarily as earthworks, the remains represent an important example of early Norman military architecture in the Welsh Marches.
