Neville Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located approximately 430 metres north-west of the parish church in Yorkshire. The monument consists of an earthwork comprising a raised mound with an accompanying bailey, typical of Norman defensive architecture constructed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site represents a significant example of early medieval military engineering and settlement hierarchy characteristic of the post-Conquest landscape. The earthworks remain largely intact as an upstanding monument, preserving evidence of this important phase of Yorkshire's feudal organisation.
