Motte castle 100m north east of Howton Farm is a Norman earthwork fortification located in Herefordshire. The monument comprises a motte, the characteristic steep-sided mound typical of early Norman defensive architecture, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest. Such mottes served as military strongpoints and administrative centres across the English landscape, particularly concentrated in the Welsh Marches where this example stands. The earthwork remains substantially preserved as a landscape feature, preserving evidence of the Norman settlement pattern and military organisation of the region.
