Motte and bailey 360m N of Harthill Bank is a Norman earthwork fortification located in Cheshire, England. The monument comprises the characteristic two-part defensive structure typical of Norman military architecture, consisting of an artificial mound (motte) accompanied by an adjacent enclosed courtyard (bailey). Such fortifications were commonly constructed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries following the Norman conquest of England, serving as administrative and military centres for local lords. The site's survival as an earthwork monument provides evidence of Norman settlement patterns and territorial control in the Cheshire region during the medieval period.
