Neville Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located approximately 430 metres north-west of the parish church in Yorkshire. The monument dates to the Norman period and represents a characteristic example of early medieval defensive architecture. The site consists of an earthwork mound with an associated bailey, typical of the castle type constructed in the decades following the Norman Conquest of 1066. Though now reduced to archaeological earthworks, the castle attests to Norman settlement patterns and the establishment of baronial authority in Yorkshire during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
