Turret Castle is a motte-and-bailey earthwork located in Herefordshire, England. The site comprises a mound with associated defensive ditches, characteristic of Norman fortifications constructed in the eleventh or twelfth century. The castle's relatively modest scale suggests it functioned as a local defensive stronghold rather than a major administrative centre. Little structural masonry survives above ground, though the earthwork remains substantially preserved and represents an important example of early post-Conquest military architecture in the Welsh borderlands.
