Castell is a medieval ringwork located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, dating to the Norman period of the twelfth century. The monument consists of a roughly circular earthwork comprising a substantial bank and ditch, characteristic of early Norman fortifications in Wales designed for rapid construction and defensive capability. As a ringwork rather than a motte-and-bailey, Castell represents a distinct form of Norman military architecture adapted to local topography and garrison requirements. The site reflects the pattern of Norman settlement and territorial control in south Wales during the early medieval period.
