The Mount, Barrow Green is a motte-and-bailey castle located in Surrey, England. The monument consists of an earthen mound characteristic of Norman fortifications constructed during the 11th and 12th centuries. The site represents a typical example of early medieval military architecture, with its raised mound forming the defensive core of what would have been a small feudal stronghold.
