Motte and bailey castle 200 yards south-west of Newcourt Farm is a Norman fortification located in Herefordshire, England. The site comprises the characteristic earthwork elements of motte and bailey design, consisting of a raised mound with an associated lower enclosure, typical of eleventh and twelfth-century castle construction in England. Such fortifications served as defensive strongholds and administrative centres during the Norman period following 1066, when this form of castle became the standard method of establishing control over newly conquered territories. The earthworks remain substantially preserved as landscape features, though the site retains no standing masonry structures.
