Castle Mound is a motte of medieval date located in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The monument comprises an earthen mound which represents a significant example of early Norman defensive architecture in the region, characteristic of the castle-building campaigns that followed the Norman conquest of South Wales in the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. The mound's form and construction technique are typical of motte-and-bailey fortifications, which served as administrative and military centres during the early medieval period. The site remains an important archaeological record of Norman settlement patterns and territorial control in Pembrokeshire during the medieval period.
