Motte castle 150m SSW of Allesley Hall is a Norman motte-and-bailey earthwork situated in Warwickshire. The monument consists of a substantial mound of earth forming the motte, characteristic of defensive structures erected in the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. The castle exemplifies the rapid fortification strategy employed by Norman lords to establish control over the English landscape, with the raised motte providing a commanding position for both observation and defence. The earthwork survives as an important archaeological record of early medieval military architecture in the region.
