Motte castrale du Petit-Besle stands in Buchy (Seine-Maritime), in the Normandie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 11th century, 12th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

What the French Ministry of Culture records

Monticule de terre circulaire, entouré de fossés secs. La motte se rattachait probablement à la fortification dite Le Grand Besle datant des 11e et 12e siècles. Elle en constituait sans doute un poste avancé, à l'origine surmonté d'une construction de bois.
