Crabb's Castle is a medieval ringwork castle located near Crabb's Castle Farm in Norfolk, England. The monument comprises an earthwork fortification typical of the Norman period, consisting of a defensive ring of banks and ditches that would have enclosed a small defended settlement or stronghold. Ringwork castles of this type were common in England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, representing a more modest form of military architecture than the stone keeps and curtain walls of larger baronial fortifications. The site remains visible as earthwork remains and contributes to the archaeological record of medieval defensive settlement in East Anglia.
