Crailloch Mote is a settlement site located in Wigtownshire, south-western Scotland. The site comprises a motte, a characteristic earthwork of the medieval period, which suggests occupation during the twelfth century or later. Like other motte sites in the region, it represents the Norman-influenced settlement patterns that were established in south-western Scotland following the expansion of Anglo-Norman authority in the late medieval period. The physical remains consist of an artificial mound typical of motte-and-bailey fortifications, though the bailey component may not be prominently preserved at this location.
