Motte at Hampstead Norreys is a Norman earthwork located approximately 250 metres south-west of St Mary's Church in Berkshire. The monument consists of a motte, a raised mound characteristic of early Norman fortifications, dating to the 11th or 12th century. The site represents a form of military architecture typical of the Norman period in England, when such mounds, frequently accompanied by baileys, served as defensive positions for local lords. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological remain, preserving evidence of early medieval settlement and control in the Berkshire landscape.
