Oversley Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle situated near Arrow in Warwickshire. The site consists of a substantial earthwork mound surrounded by defensive ditches, characteristic of early Norman military architecture dating to the 11th or 12th century. The castle represents an important example of the fortified settlements established by Norman lords following the Conquest, though it was likely abandoned as a residence relatively early in the medieval period. Today the earthwork remains largely intact and survives as a significant archaeological monument demonstrating the defensive strategies and settlement patterns of Norman England.
