Round Hill castle mound and bailey is a Norman earthwork fortification located in Yorkshire, England. The monument comprises a substantial motte and bailey arrangement, with a raised mound serving as the defensive core typical of early Norman castle construction. Dating to the Norman period following 1066, such fortifications represent an important phase of military architecture in England, constructed rapidly to establish and consolidate Norman control over newly conquered territories. The earthwork survives as a significant archaeological record of early medieval castle building practices and demonstrates the characteristic form of fortified settlement that preceded the development of stone castles in the region.
