Torksey Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress situated in Lincolnshire, dating to the late eleventh century. The site comprises a substantial earthwork mound surrounded by defensive ditches, representing a typical example of early Norman military architecture in England. The castle was constructed following the Norman Conquest as part of the strategic fortification of the region, and its earthwork remains survive as a testament to medieval defensive engineering. The site has been designated as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving an important record of Norman settlement and military organisation in the East Midlands.
