The Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Hampshire, England. The earthwork comprises a substantial mound with an associated bailey, a form of defensive settlement characteristic of the Norman period following the invasion of 1066. Such structures served both military and administrative functions as the Normans consolidated control over the English landscape. The site preserves important evidence of early medieval fortification techniques and the establishment of Norman authority in the region.
