Mound on Hamilton Hill is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle situated in Nottinghamshire. The monument consists of an earthen mound typical of Norman fortifications constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century. The site represents the material remains of a small feudal stronghold, with its raised mound forming the defensive core characteristic of early medieval castle architecture in the East Midlands. Such monuments are significant archaeological evidence of the dispersed pattern of fortified settlement that followed the Norman Conquest.
