Much Marcle Castle, also known as Mortimer's Castle, is a motte-and-bailey castle in Much Marcle, Herefordshire which has surviving earthworks present today.

History

Much Marcle Castle was present by 1153, and it was crenelated during the late 13th century.

It was abandoned in favour of the Mortimer family's nearby manorial seat at Ellingham Castle, and was demolished during the 15th century and the stones were reworked into rebuilding the adjacent St Bartholomew's Church. The moat at Much Marcle Castle was still traceable as late as the early 17th century, and the inner bailey was landscaped during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Much Marcle Castle was first listed as a Scheduled Monument by Historic England on 20 March 1973.
