Motte castle 280m south of New Buildings Farm is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in Herefordshire. The monument consists of a substantial earthen mound typical of early medieval military architecture, constructed during the Norman period following the conquest of 1066. Such mottes served as defensive strongholds and administrative centres for Norman lords establishing control over the English countryside. The site remains visible as an archaeological earthwork, preserving evidence of the post-Conquest reorganisation of Herefordshire's defensive landscape.
