Motte castle 280m south of New Buildings Farm is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of an earthen motte, a raised defensive mound typical of Norman military architecture, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest. Such structures were commonly constructed during the eleventh and twelfth centuries as temporary or permanent strongholds to assert Norman control over the English landscape. The site's survival as an archaeological earthwork preserves evidence of early medieval defensive settlement patterns in the Welsh Marches region.
