Motte and bailey castle 900m ESE of Burridge Farm is a Norman defensive earthwork located in Cornwall, England. The monument comprises the characteristic two-part design of motte and bailey fortifications, with an elevated mound (the motte) surmounted by a timber or stone structure, adjoining a lower defended courtyard (the bailey). Such fortifications were typically constructed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries following the Norman Conquest, serving as administrative and defensive centres for Norman lords establishing control over the English landscape. The earthwork survives as an archaeological feature demonstrating the Norman settlement and military organisation of the Cornish region during the medieval period.
