South Cerney castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortification located in the parish of South Cerney in Gloucestershire. The castle consists of an earthen mound with an associated bailey, typical of early Norman defensive works constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century. The site represents an example of the widespread fortification of the English landscape following the Norman Conquest, though limited archaeological investigation has been undertaken at the location. The earthworks remain substantially preserved as an upstanding monument in the landscape.
