Tickhill Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress situated in the town of Tickhill in South Yorkshire. The castle was established in the late eleventh century, likely in the 1070s, as part of the Norman consolidation of England following the Conquest of 1066. The site comprises a substantial earthwork mound, which formerly supported a wooden palisade and later stone structures, surrounded by a bailey and defensive ditches that remain clearly visible today. Though the castle saw military action during the twelfth century, particularly during the civil war of Stephen's reign, it gradually declined in importance and was largely abandoned by the medieval period, leaving the impressive earthwork remains that survive as testament to early Norman military architecture in northern England.
