Motte castle 178m WSW of Walford Bridge is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in Herefordshire. The monument comprises an earthen mound typical of early Norman defensive architecture, dating to the late eleventh or twelfth century. Such structures served as local administrative and military centres during the period of Norman consolidation in the Welsh Marches, a strategically significant region requiring robust fortifications. The site survives as an archaeological earthwork and remains an important example of early post-Conquest military architecture in the county.
