Shrawardine Castle is a Norman fortification situated on the River Severn in Shropshire, dating from the late eleventh or early twelfth century. The castle comprises a motte-and-bailey earthwork, with substantial remains of a stone keep and defensive walls that reflect successive phases of medieval development and adaptation. The site demonstrates strategic importance as a frontier holding during the Norman period and subsequent conflicts along the English-Welsh border. Associated settlement remains visible in the surrounding landscape attest to the economic and social functions of the castle beyond its purely military role.
