Motte castle 200m south east of Lasborough is a Norman fortification consisting of an earthen motte with an associated bailey, located in Gloucestershire. The monument dates to the Norman period, likely constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century as part of the widespread programme of castle building following the Norman Conquest. The site comprises a prominent mound typical of motte-and-bailey construction, representing a common form of early medieval military architecture employed by Norman lords to establish control over newly conquered territories. Such fortifications served both defensive and administrative functions within the feudal landscape of post-Conquest England.
