Misarden Park motte and bailey is a medieval fortified earthwork located in Gloucestershire. The monument consists of a motte, or artificial mound, accompanied by one or more baileys, the characteristic defensive arrangement of early Norman castle construction. Dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066, such fortifications represent the dominant military architecture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries in England. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological monument demonstrating the pattern of Norman settlement and territorial control in the English countryside during the medieval period.
