Myddle Castle is a motte and bailey fortress located near Castle Farm in Shropshire, occupying a commanding position in the north of the county. The monument dates to the Norman period, likely established in the eleventh or twelfth century as part of the network of defensive structures across the English Marches. The site comprises a substantial earthen motte with an adjoining bailey, representing the characteristic two-part plan of early medieval castle design. Though now reduced to earthworks, the castle would have functioned as a territorial stronghold controlling the surrounding landscape during the medieval period.
