Caer Castell Camp is a motte situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under reference Cadw SAM GM216. The monument represents a form of medieval fortification typical of the Norman and post-Conquest period in Wales, when such earthwork castles served as centres of military control and administrative authority.

Such fortifications were frequently established to consolidate Norman lordship and facilitate control of local territories during the medieval period.
