Caer Siac Motte and Bailey is a medieval motte and bailey castle located in Wales, designated as a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw reference MG342. The site comprises the characteristic earthwork elements of this fortification type, with a raised mound (motte) and adjoining defensive enclosure (bailey), typical of Norman or post-Norman military architecture in Wales.
