Brinklow Castle, known locally as the Tump, is a medieval castle in the village of Brinklow in the county of Warwickshire between Coventry and Rugby.

[1] It was later modified during the late 11th century by Aubrey de Coucy,[2] the first Norman lord of Brinklow, but he left his Earldom in Northumbria and thus lost his lands in England before the writing of the Domesday Book of 1086.

[3] The castle was abandoned during the 13th century for unknown reasons.

Brinklow Castle is a motte-and-bailey castle of grand size: the motte is 12 m high and its original bailey was 121m wide by 152m long.

Later it seems that Brinklow's bailey was modified to enclose a smaller area by cutting a ditch and forming a rampart in the middle of the bailey;[4] this seems to suggest that Brinklow slowly declined.
