Pallet Hill motte and bailey castle is a fortified earthwork located northwest of St Anne's Church in Yorkshire. The monument comprises a motte, or artificial mound, accompanied by an associated bailey, representing a characteristic form of medieval military architecture that became widespread in England following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The site dates to the medieval period, typical of the castle-building campaigns of the eleventh and twelfth centuries when such earthwork fortifications served as centres of local lordship and defence. The survival of its earthwork remains provides evidence of medieval settlement patterns and the strategic organisation of the Yorkshire landscape during the early medieval period.
