Crugyn Tump Castle Mound is a motte situated in Radnorshire, Wales, representing the Norman settlement and fortification of the border region during the medieval period. The earthwork comprises a substantial mound typical of motte-and-bailey castles, a form of fortification widely employed throughout Wales and the Anglo-Norman marches from the eleventh century onwards. Its location in Radnorshire reflects the strategic importance of controlling this border territory during the medieval period, when such fortifications served to consolidate Norman lordship and defence against Welsh resistance. The site is recorded under Cadw's Scheduled Ancient Monument designation as RD086, securing its protection as a significant archaeological heritage asset.
