Motte castle, located 110 metres north-west of St Mary's Church in Warwickshire, is a Norman earthwork defence dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. The monument comprises a substantial mound characteristic of early Norman fortifications, constructed as a raised platform intended to support a wooden palisade and defensive structures. Such motte castles were typical of the immediate post-Conquest period, serving as focal points of territorial control and military authority across the English landscape. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of Norman settlement and administrative organisation in the Midlands.
