Llangibby Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey fortress situated in Monmouthshire, South Wales. The castle dates to the late eleventh or early twelfth century and represents the type of earthwork defensive structure established by Norman settlers during their colonisation of South Wales following 1066. The monument comprises a substantial motte with an adjoining bailey, surviving as prominent earthen banks and ditches that remain largely unexcavated. The site reflects the strategic importance of the Usk valley during the Norman period and stands as a significant example of early medieval military architecture in the Welsh borderlands.
