Overview

History & significance

Castle Green is a motte and bailey castle situated in Worcestershire, England. The site comprises a substantial earthwork consisting of a mound with an attached bailey, typical of the Norman fortifications established in the decades following the conquest of 1066. The castle represents an important example of early medieval military architecture in the region, reflecting the strategic consolidation of Norman power in the West Midlands during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The earthwork remains largely intact, preserving the characteristic morphology of this widespread castle type that dominated English military engineering before the widespread adoption of stone construction.
