Myddle Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification situated near Castle Farm in the parish of Myddle, Shropshire. The castle dates to the Norman period, likely founded in the 11th or 12th century as part of the territorial consolidation of the Welsh Marches. The site consists of an earthwork mound with surrounding defensive ditches, typical of early medieval castle construction. The monument represents an important example of Norman military architecture in the region, though it was apparently not developed into a stone-built stronghold and appears to have been relatively short-lived as an active fortification.
