Motte and bailey castle with later moated site at Stonebridge Crescent is a medieval fortification located in Warwickshire, England. The site comprises an earthwork motte with an adjoining bailey, a defensive arrangement typical of Norman and early medieval castle construction in England. A moated enclosure of later date overlies or adjoins the earlier motte-and-bailey works, indicating successive phases of fortification or habitation at the location. The monument represents the evolution of local defensive architecture across the medieval period, from the motte-and-bailey phase through to later medieval moated homesteads that characterised settlement patterns in the Midlands.
