Motte and Bailey Castle 200m North-West of Stowting Church is a Norman earthwork fortification situated in Kent. The monument comprises a substantial motte with an adjacent bailey, typical of early Norman military architecture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site represents a form of castle construction that was rapidly disseminated throughout England following the Norman Conquest of 1066, serving as a seat of local authority and defence. The earthwork survives as an upstanding archaeological feature, preserving evidence of early medieval fortification practices in the Weald of Kent.
