Felin Isaf Castle Mound is a medieval motte situated in Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under Cadw reference GM370. The monument dates to the medieval period, likely constructed during the Norman period or early medieval Welsh kingdom consolidation when such fortified mounds served as defensive strongholds and administrative centres. The site comprises an earthwork mound typical of motte-and-bailey fortifications, representing the strategic landscape of medieval Wales where such structures functioned as centres of military control and local authority. Though specific details of its archaeological investigation remain limited in wider scholarly circulation, the monument's survival as an earthwork testifies to the military architecture characteristic of medieval Welsh border regions.
