Touthill is a motte and bailey castle site located in Northamptonshire, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork mound, the motte, accompanied by an associated bailey platform, representing a form of fortification characteristic of the Norman period following 1066. Such motte and bailey castles served as centres of manorial authority and defence across England during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The earthwork remains at Touthill preserve evidence of this important phase of medieval military architecture and settlement.
