Snodhill Castle is a ruined motte-and-bailey castle, about south of the village of Dorstone in west Herefordshire, England. It is recognized as one of the major castles of the Welsh Marches. It was built in the 11th century to secure the border between Norman England and the Welsh Princes. Archaeological excavations have found that it was one of the first Norman castles in the country to have stone-built fortifications, with more sophisticated defences being added in later centuries.
