Sleaford Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle constructed in the late eleventh century in Lincolnshire. The site consists of an artificial mound with a surrounding ditch, characteristic of early Norman fortifications in England following the Conquest of 1066. The castle served as a defensive stronghold and was associated with the Lincolnshire landholdings of its Norman lords. Today the earthwork remains visible as an important example of early medieval fortification, though no substantial stone structures have survived above ground.
