Domen Fawr Castle Mound Tafolwern is a motte of medieval date located in Wales under official Cadw designation SAM MG065. The earthwork represents a type of fortification characteristic of the Norman and post-Norman period, when motte-and-bailey castles served as important defensive structures across Wales and the Welsh Marches. The site consists of the characteristic raised mound that would have supported a wooden palisade and tower, typical of early medieval castle construction before the development of substantial stone fortifications. Such monuments provide evidence of the military organisation and territorial control established in the medieval Welsh landscape.
