Motte and bailey castle 90m west of St Mary Magdalene's Church, Quatford, is a Norman fortification situated in Shropshire. The monument comprises an earthwork motte with an attached bailey, representing the typical military architecture of the post-Conquest period from the eleventh century onwards. The site's proximity to the parish church and its position within the settlement landscape suggest it served as a significant local stronghold during the early Norman period. The earthwork remains demonstrate the defensive character of early medieval castle design before the widespread adoption of stone construction.
