The motte castle 80 metres north-east of Home Farm is a Norman earthwork fortification located in Shropshire. The site comprises a substantial mound typical of early medieval defensive architecture, constructed during the Norman period following the conquest of England in 1066. Such mottes served as territorial markers and administrative centres for Norman lords establishing control over the English landscape. The monument survives as an earthwork with archaeological potential, representing the widespread pattern of motte-and-bailey castle construction that characterised the Norman settlement of the Welsh Marches.
