Weobley Castle is a motte-and-bailey fortification located in Herefordshire that dates to the Norman period. The site comprises a substantial earthen mound surrounded by a defensive ditch and bailey, representing a characteristic form of early medieval military architecture deployed following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The castle was established to control the local territory and would have served as a stronghold for its Norman lords during the 11th and 12th centuries. The earthworks remain clearly visible today and constitute an important example of Norman military engineering in the Welsh border region.
