Middleton Stoney Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Oxfordshire, England. The site dates to the Norman period, likely established in the eleventh or twelfth century as part of the wider programme of castle construction following the Norman Conquest. The castle comprises an earthen motte, or artificial mound, with an associated bailey, or defended enclosure, typical of early Norman military architecture in England. Though now reduced to earthworks, the site remains an important archaeological record of Norman defensive settlement and territorial control in the region.
