Castell Gwallter is a medieval castle situated in Ceredigion, Wales, dating to the Norman period of Welsh fortification. The site consists of earthwork remains comprising a motte and bailey structure, typical of early Norman defensive architecture in Wales. Located within the designated scheduled ancient monument area, the castle represents the pattern of Anglo-Norman expansion and settlement in Ceredigion during the twelfth century. The monument survives primarily as landscape features rather than standing masonry, reflecting the earthen construction methods common to many early medieval castles in the region.
