A feudal motte refers to a type of earthwork fortification characteristic of medieval Europe, particularly during the feudal period. It typically consists of a raised mound (the motte) topped with a wooden or stone structure, such as a keep or castle, providing a defensive vantage point. The motte was often accompanied by a surrounding enclosure (the bailey) that housed various buildings and served as a living area for the lord and their retainers. This design was common in the Norman conquest of England and symbolizes the feudal system's social hierarchy and military organization.
