Castle Mound is a motte-and-bailey castle earthwork located in Herefordshire, England. The monument consists of an artificial mound typical of Norman defensive architecture, dating to the medieval period following the Norman Conquest of 1066. Such motte-and-bailey castles were rapidly constructed across England during the late eleventh and twelfth centuries to establish Norman control and serve as local administrative centres. The earthwork remains a significant archaeological resource for understanding early medieval fortification practices and settlement patterns in the Welsh borderland region.
