Castle Mound 400m N of Cefnige is a medieval motte situated in Radnorshire, Wales. The earthwork comprises a substantial mounded structure typical of Norman and early medieval defensive architecture, dating to the twelfth century or possibly earlier. Such mottes served as the defensive strongpoints of early medieval lordships across Wales and the Welsh Marches, functioning as platforms for timber or stone fortifications.
