Motte castle with associated courtyard and mill leat, 130m NW of Chanstone Mill, is a Norman fortification located in Herefordshire. The site comprises a motte (earthen mound) with an associated bailey or courtyard, representing a common form of castle construction employed by Norman lords following the conquest of England in 1066. The presence of the mill leat indicates medieval management of water resources for both defensive and economic purposes, typical of substantial manorial settlements. The monument survives as an earthwork and represents an important example of early medieval military architecture in the Welsh Marches region.
