Knapp Farm Mound is a medieval mound located in Radnorshire, Wales, forming part of the defensive and administrative landscape of the medieval Welsh-English border region. The mound represents a form of early medieval or high medieval fortification, likely constructed during the period of Norman expansion and Welsh political consolidation in the eleventh to thirteenth centuries. Such mounds typically served as the basis for timber or stone structures, functioning as ringworks or mottes that provided elevated defensive positions for local lords or administrators. The monument's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the strategic importance of this Radnorshire location during the turbulent medieval period.
