Motte castle 100m north of Wotherton Hall is a Norman earthwork fortification located in Shropshire. The site comprises a substantial motte, the characteristic steep-sided artificial mound typical of early Norman military architecture, with associated bailey works forming part of the defensive enclosure. Dating to the Norman period following the conquest of 1066, this monument represents the widespread strategy of establishing fortified strongholds across the English Midlands to consolidate Norman territorial control. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological record of early medieval military engineering and settlement hierarchy in the region.
