Castell Glas Castle Mound is a motte situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference MM190. The monument represents a typical example of early medieval fortification strategy, characteristic of the Norman period of Welsh castle development. The mound itself preserves the earthwork remains of a raised defensive platform, which would originally have supported timber or stone structures to command the surrounding landscape. Such mottes formed the nucleus of early medieval military administration and served as focal points for territorial control during the period of Anglo-Norman expansion into Wales.
