Gro Tump Mound and Bailey Castle is a motte and bailey earthwork situated in Wales and designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the Cadw reference MG059. The site consists of the characteristic two-part defensive structure typical of Norman and early medieval fortification, comprising an elevated motte with an attached bailey enclosure.
