Motte and bailey castle 90m west of St Mary Magdalene's Church, Quatford is a Norman fortification located in Shropshire. The monument comprises an earthwork motte with an adjoining bailey, typical of the castle typology established across England following the Norman Conquest of 1066.

The earthwork survives as a substantial landscape feature demonstrating the military and administrative authority exercised by Norman lords over the English countryside during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
