Caer Siac Motte and Bailey is a medieval fortification located in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MG342. The site comprises the characteristic two-part earthwork of a motte and bailey castle, with a raised mound (motte) adjoining an outer defended enclosure (bailey), a defensive arrangement typical of Norman and post-Conquest settlement in Wales. Such structures were constructed from the late eleventh century onwards as instruments of military control and baronial authority across the Welsh frontier regions. The earthwork survives as a substantial landscape feature, preserving evidence of medieval domestic and military occupation during a period of intensive Anglo-Norman colonisation.
