Motte in Castle Hill Wood, Huntley is a motte-and-bailey castle situated in Gloucestershire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork mound typical of Norman military architecture from the 11th and 12th centuries, when such fortifications were constructed throughout England following the Norman Conquest. The site preserves the characteristic defensive design of its period, with the raised motte providing a commanding position within the surrounding landscape. Though largely unexcavated, the earthworks remain a significant example of early medieval military engineering in the Forest of Dean region.
