Motte castle 510m east of Broadward Hall is a Norman earthwork defensive structure located in Shropshire. The monument comprises a substantial motte, or artificial mound, typical of early Norman fortifications erected following the conquest of 1066, with the castle likely dating to the eleventh or twelfth century. Such mottes commonly served as the stronghold of local lords, providing both residential and military functions across the Norman period. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological feature of the Shropshire landscape, contributing to the documented pattern of Norman settlement and territorial control in the Welsh Marches.
