Money Hill motte and bailey castle is a Norman fortification located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a motte, or artificial mound, with an adjoining bailey, or defended enclosure, typical of the castle types constructed during the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The site represents the standard form of early Norman military architecture in northern England, when such earthwork fortifications served as administrative and defensive centres for the newly established Anglo-Norman nobility. The monument survives as an archaeological earthwork and remains a significant example of eleventh and twelfth-century fortification strategy in the region.
