Llangibby Castle Mound is a motte dating from the Norman period, located in Monmouthshire, Wales. The earthwork consists of a substantial raised mound, characteristic of early medieval defensive architecture, which would originally have been crowned by timber structures including a palisade and defensive tower. The site represents a typical example of Norman military settlement strategy in South Wales during the twelfth century, when such mottes served as focal points for lordly control and territorial assertion. The mound remains a significant testament to the early post-conquest landscape and the pattern of Norman fortification across the Welsh borderlands.
