Crookbarrow Farm is a scheduled ancient monument in Worcestershire comprising a motte castle, associated moated site, and medieval agricultural remains. The motte represents a classic example of early Norman fortification, whilst the moated enclosure demonstrates the medieval manor's defensive and status-bearing characteristics typical of high medieval settlement patterns. The agricultural remains visible across the site reflect the economic basis of the medieval estate, illustrating the integration of lordly residence with productive landscape management. Together, these elements provide material evidence of settlement hierarchy and land use during the medieval period in the West Midlands.
