Motte castle 250m west of Yockleton Hall is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in Shropshire. The monument consists of an earthen mound typical of eleventh or twelfth-century castle construction, representing the early period of post-Conquest military architecture in the English Midlands. Such mottes were rapidly constructed defensive works serving both strategic and administrative functions during the Norman settlement of England. The site's survival as earthwork remains provides evidence of the extensive network of castle fortifications established across Shropshire during the medieval period.
