Castle Madoc Mound is a motte dating to the Norman period, situated in Breconshire in the eastern part of South Wales. The earthwork consists of a substantial mound, typical of early Norman fortifications, which would originally have supported timber defensive structures. Its construction reflects the pattern of Norman military settlement and control in the Welsh Marches during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, when such mottes were rapidly established to consolidate territorial gains. The monument survives as a significant archaeological record of medieval defence strategy in this border region.
