Motte and bailey castle 130m north west of Manor Farm is a Norman fortification located in Warwickshire. The monument consists of the characteristic two-part structure typical of early medieval military architecture, comprising a motte, or artificial mound, and an adjoining bailey, or defensive enclosure. Dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066, such fortifications represent a significant phase in English castle development, serving as administrative and defensive strongholds during the establishment of Norman control. The earthwork remains of this castle survive to demonstrate the scale and engineering capabilities of early medieval defensive construction in the Midlands.
