Sibbertoft motte and bailey is a Norman earthwork castle located in Northamptonshire, England. The monument comprises a motte, or artificial mound, surrounded by a bailey, the characteristic defensive earthwork arrangement typical of early Norman fortifications constructed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The site represents an important example of post-Conquest military architecture, reflecting Norman settlement and territorial control in the Midlands during the medieval period. The earthworks remain substantially visible today, preserving evidence of the castle's original ground plan and defensive design.
