The motte and bailey castle 130 metres north west of Manor Farm is a Norman fortification located in Warwickshire. The monument comprises the characteristic two-part structure typical of early medieval military architecture, with a raised mound (motte) accompanied by an adjoining defended enclosure (bailey). Such earthwork fortifications were constructed across England in the decades following the Norman Conquest of 1066, serving as administrative and defensive centres for the new Norman lords. This example represents the widespread pattern of castle-building that reinforced Norman control and settlement in the English Midlands during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
