The motte and bailey castle 100 metres south east of Bell Farm is a Norman fortification located in Herefordshire. The site comprises the characteristic two-part earthwork typical of Norman military architecture, with a raised mound (motte) accompanied by an adjoining defended enclosure (bailey). Dating to the Norman period following the 1066 conquest, such castles served as crucial instruments of Anglo-Norman territorial control and administration throughout the Welsh borderlands. The earthwork remains largely unexcavated, preserving its original topography as a testament to early medieval military engineering in the region.
