Higham Gobion Castle was an 11th-century castle located in the village of Higham Gobion, now part of the civil parish of Shillington, in the English county of Bedfordshire. The castle was a timber motte and bailey fortress, built by the Gobion family, from which the castle and neighboring town derive their name, sometime after the Norman Invasion of 1066. Built in a marshy site, it encompased a large triangular area. A small motte was located within the triangle, and the site was defended by substantial ramparts.
