The Manwar Ings is a motte and bailey castle situated in Lincolnshire, England. The monument consists of the earthwork remains characteristic of this castle type, with a raised mound (motte) and an adjoining bailey or defended enclosure. Dating to the medieval period, likely the Norman era following the Norman Conquest of 1066, such fortifications served as early military strongholds and administrative centres. The site's survival as earthwork remains reflects the substantial nature of these defensive structures, though the original timber or stone superstructure has not endured.
