St Weonard's Tump is a motte castle situated in the village of St Weonard in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthen mound characteristic of Norman motte-and-bailey fortifications, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The tump represents an important example of the early castle-building programme undertaken by Norman lords in the Welsh Marches, a region requiring defensive strongholds to control newly conquered territory. The site survives as a prominent earthwork and remains a significant testament to the military architecture and settlement patterns of eleventh and twelfth century Herefordshire.
