A motte castle 150 metres east of Tump House Farm is a Norman earthwork fortification located in Herefordshire. The monument comprises a substantial mound characteristic of early medieval military architecture, built during the period following the Norman Conquest of 1066 when such fortified sites became widespread throughout England. Like other examples of its type, the motte would have supported a wooden or stone structure on its summit and likely formed part of a defensive settlement pattern in the Welsh borderlands. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological record of Norman territorial control and settlement strategy in the region during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
